Automated best-of radar

Best Free Inference platforms options.

Candidates with a source-backed free tier, free endpoint, free trial, pretrained download, open weights, open-source license, or self-hosted path. Automated radar for model serving, serverless inference, GPU clouds, routers, gateways, and local inference engines. Rankings use existing source-backed radar data and do not invent prices, benchmark scores, release dates, or capabilities.
