AI tool deals and free credits

Google's most capable reasoning model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is half price on the paid API through November 30, 2026: $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, going back to $4 and $20 on December 1. You can call it at this price on the paid Gemini API or on Vercel AI Gateway; the Free tier doesn't include this model.

Reflection open-sourced Beam 1.0, a 501B-parameter model, on October 16, and Vercel AI Gateway added a free version as reflection/beam-free with $0 input and output. It has about 1M tokens of context and up to about 131K output tokens, is built for coding and agentic tasks, and has no published usage cap or end date.

Vercel launched Token Pass in early access. Pro teams pay $30 a month and get $80 of credit for Kimi K3, GLM 5.3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, so each dollar buys about 2.7 dollars of usage. The credit is shared across the team, resets every billing period, and works with Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, and other coding agents. Spots are limited, and a waitlist opens when they fill up.

Fish Audio’s new Drama 3 text-to-speech model is now on Vercel AI Gateway, and it is 80% off for its first 30 days. Through November 12, it costs $10 per million characters instead of $50. Call fish-audio/drama-3 with your AI Gateway API key for voiceovers, character dialogue, and audiobooks.

NVIDIA's open Nemotron 3.5 Lightning has free versions on Vercel AI Gateway and OpenRouter, with $0 input and output. It has a 1M-token context, up to about 65K output tokens and tool calling.
