Free tier	Text and image generation on volunteer GPUs, free, with no account: the README says use API key '0000000000' for anonymous usage, with 'No need to register', and that 'anyone can use it for free, even anonymously'. Kudos never expire and can never be bought or sold. unit none; metered on wall-clock; perpetual
Price	none stated

Retention	not applicable

Identity	anonymous not published
Limits	request-rate Anonymous calls sit at the lowest priority and the service 'may be restricted for anonymous users during high load'. The measured pool on 2026-10-22 was 51 workers over 28 text models, so supply is thin and the queue, not a quota, is what limits a job: priority rises only with kudos, earned by contributing a GPU for a user does not have. source Anonymous calls sit at the lowest priority and the service 'may be restricted for anonymous users during high load'.

Composes with	The only way to raise priority is to run a worker, which needs a GPU; a rented GPU would earn kudos, but kudos earned per GPU-hour are not published, so the trade is unmeasured.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Two front ends share the API: Stable Horde for images and KoboldAI Horde for text. The measured model list is a catalog read without a key: it proves the pool is live and public, not that an anonymous generation completes, because a generation needs a POST and the broker has no POST route. The 51-worker figure is one sample at 2026-10-22T15:34Z and volunteer pools swing by hour. A pseudonymous registered account starts at 25 kudos and outranks anonymous.
