const models = await discoverFreeModels();
// Returns models with $0.00 or very low pricing

Filter by criteria

import { filterModels } from './scripts/free-models.js';

// High context + low price (best for tool calling)
const models = await filterModels({
  minContext: 200000,      // 200k+ tokens
  maxPromptPrice: 0.00001  // Under $0.00001/1M tokens
});

// Specific provider only
const openaiModels = await filterModels({
  author: 'openai',
  minContext: 100000
});

// Name contains filter
const flashModels = await filterModels({
  author: 'google',
  nameContains: 'flash'
});

// All filters combined
const cheapGoogle = await filterModels({

  maxPromptPrice: 0.000001
});

Get best free model for agent
