--- title: "Free inference provider watchlist" description: "Free inference claims that still need an authenticated call, exact quota, or resolution of conflicting provider documentation." canonical_url: "https://freeinferencing.com/watchlist/" md_url: "https://freeinferencing.com/watchlist.md" last_updated: "2026-09-19" --- # The watchlist > These claims are not counted as verified until first-party evidence closes the material gap. ## Classification rule A record stays here when a current model, exact quota, zero-balance call, eligibility rule, or consistent billing policy is unresolved. ## What closes the gap A provider-owned pricing page, governing term, current documentation page, live catalog, or reproducible account result must settle the missing field. Community reports and screenshots can direct the audit, but they do not establish who is eligible, whether an allowance recurs, which account receives it, or what happens after exhaustion. Unresolved claims are dated findings too. New evidence can promote the offer, narrow its classification, or close it as excluded; “needs verification” is not allowed to become a permanent substitute for a result. ## Records - [AkashML](/provider/akashml.md): One-time trial.
