Due to the "Code Red" threat from Gemini 3, I suspect they'll hold off throttling for longer than usual (by incinerating even more investor capital than usual).

Jump in and soak up that extra-discounted compute while the getting is good, kids! Personally, I recently retired so I just occasionally mess around with LLMs for casual hobby projects, so I've only ever used the free tier of all the providers. Having lived through the dot com bubble, I regret not soaking up more of the free and heavily subsidized stuff back then. Trying not to miss out this time. All this compute available for free or below cost won't last too much longer...

I've been using tools like ProxLLM which just slam these AI models via proxy everytime a free tier limit is hit and it works great.
