Previously, we shared about NVIDIA and AGNES’s free API key services. Another AI player, AMD, has also recently launched an API key service free for developers. Currently, large models like DeepSeek V4 Flash and Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, hosted on their AMD GPU Cloud, are available for free use. Here, we’ll also briefly share how to apply and obtain one.
AMD also has free API keys available: a guide to applying for the AMD AI Developer Program.
First, go to AMD Radeon Cloud Page Registration(Click “Login” in the top right corner)
After entering, choose the GitHub login below, not the email login above, because it will require a Chinese phone number, and many people will likely get stuck :
Then enter your GitHub account. If you don’t have one, click the Google or Apple login below, and it will register an account for you on the spot.
Just click verify and it’ll register a GitHub account on the spot, no difficulty:
After registration, you will be taken to a prompt indicating that your email has not been verified. Click “Open account settings” to link your email:
Finally, you will be taken to the personal account information page, and once you verify your email, the activation is complete:
Then you can go back to Token Factory to select a free model. Here, DeepSeek V4 Flash is used as an example (the other new version with vision is available for a limited time and may disappear at any moment):
This way, you can get the BaseURL and API KEY. Hand them over to the Agent, and you’ll be able to use it for free:
Tested it briefly; it works fine and responds pretty fast, but the concurrency can’t be too high. Running Hermes is no problem though:
Also, the official says it’s free, but there seems to be a points system. You just need to go to the developer’s website homepage and complete tasks to earn points for free, and the points it deducts are very few. Basically, just go and take a look.Home CoursesYou can just keep freeloading. In actual testing, it’s more stable than NVIDIA’s free API key. What’s rather annoying is that Taiwan gets forcibly redirected to the Chinese page, and there’s also…English version of the application page, but the process is equally complicated, and I can’t find where to get an API key (figure it out yourselves—if you know how, let me know). If that bothers you, don’t use it:
