## Free GenAI APIs You Can Use in 2024
Many small-scale companies are offering powerful APIs at no cost or providing a free trial that may extend up to a year based on your usage. We will look into some of those APIs and explore their benefit and usage.
## 1. Voyage AI
Voyage is a team of leading AI researchers and engineers, building embedding models for better retrieval and RAG.
* As good as OpenAI Embedding Models
* Price: Currently Free (Feb 2024)
* Documentation: [https://docs.voyageai.com/](https://docs.voyageai.com/)
* Get Started: [https://docs.voyageai.com/](https://docs.voyageai.com/)
Supported Embedding models, and more to come.
To install voyage library:
```python
# Use pip to insatll the 'voyageai' Python package to the latest version.
pip install voyageai
```
let’s use one of the embedding model voyage-2 and see its output:
```python
# Import the 'voyageai' module
import voyageai
# Create a 'Client' object from the 'voyageai' module and initialize it with your API key
vo = voyageai.Client(api_key="")
# user query
user_query = "when apple is releasing their new Iphone?"
# The 'model' parameter is set to "voyage-2", and the 'input_type' parameter is set to "document"
documents_embeddings = vo.embed(
[user_query], model="voyage-2", input_type="document"
).embeddings
# printing the embedding
print(documents_embeddings)
########### OUTPUT ###########
[ 0.12, 0.412, 0.573, ... 0.861 ] # dimension is 1024
########### OUTPUT ###########
```
## 2. AnyScale AI
Anyscale, the company behind Ray, releases APIs for LLM developers to run and fine-tune open-source LLMs quickly, cost-efficiently, and at scale.
* Running/Fine-Tuning Powerful Open-Source LLM at a very low or no cost
* Price (no credit card): Free tier $10, where $0.15 per Million/tokens
* Documentation: [https://docs.endpoints.anyscale.com/](https://docs.endpoints.anyscale.com/)
* Get Started: [https://app.endpoints.anyscale.com/welcome](https://app.endpoints.anyscale.com/welcome)
Supported LLM and Embedding models
Anyscale endpoints works with OpenAI library:
```python
# Use pip to insatll the 'openai' Python package to the latest version.
pip install openai
```
let’s use one of the Text generation LLM and see its output:
```python
# Import necessary modules
import openai
# Define the Anyscale endpoint token
ANYSCALE_ENDPOINT_TOKEN = ""
# Create an OpenAI client with the Anyscale base URL and API key
oai_client = openai.OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.endpoints.anyscale.com/v1",
api_key=anyscale_key,
)
# Define the OpenAI model to be used for chat completions
model = "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1"
# Define a prompt for the chat completion
prompt = '''hello, how are you?
'''
# Use the AnyScale model for chat completions
# Send a user message using the defined prompt
response = oai_client.chat.completions.create(
model=model,
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": prompt}
],
)
# printing the response
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
########### OUTPUT ###########
Hello! I am just a computer program, so I dont have
feelings or emotions like a human does ...
########### OUTPUT ###########
```
## 3. Gemini Multi Model
This one you may already know, but it’s worth mentioning, Google released their Gemini Multi-Model last year, and its free tier API usage is what makes it more interesting.
* Chat with text and images (Similar to GPT-4) and Embedding Models
* Price: Free Version (60 Query per minute)
* Documentation: [https://ai.google.dev/docs](https://ai.google.dev/docs)
* Get Started: [https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey](https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey)

img = PIL.Image.open('cat_wearing_hat.jpg')
# chating with image
response = model.generate_content([img, "Is there a cat in this image?"])
# printing the response
print(response.text)
########### OUTPUT ###########
Yes there is a cat in this image
########### OUTPUT ###########
```
## 4. Depth Anything AI
Image depth estimation is about figuring out how far away objects in an image are. It’s an important problem in computer vision because it help in tasks such as self-driving cars.

# loading the result
from IPython.display import Image
image_path = result[0][1]
Image(filename=image_path)
```

headers=headers # Pass the headers with the Hugging Face API token
)
# printing the output
printing(result)
########### OUTPUT ###########
Hi, how are you?
########### OUTPUT ###########
```
## What’s Next
There are many more APIs you can explore through [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces). Many SME companies provide powerful generative AI tools at a very low cost, such as OpenAI embeddings, which cost $0.00013 for 1K/Tokens. Make sure to check their licenses, as many free APIs in the free tier either limit per day requests or are for non-commercial use.
