Aerolink AI Models: Free Credits for Coding Agents

Looking for an affordable way to power AI coding agents? Aerolink is an API gateway that gives new users free starter credits to access large language models through a single, OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Sign up (often with Google), activate the free trial, and receive rolling usage allowances—typically around $5 every 5 hours and up to $35 per week for a limited trial period—without needing a credit card upfront.

Once inside the dashboard, generate an API key, copy the base URL (usually ending in /v1), and plug it into popular coding tools. It works smoothly with VS Code extensions such as Kilo Code, Continue, or custom providers, as well as agents like Codex and Claude Code-style setups. Available models in the free tier include options like Luna, Solar, and Terra (sometimes labeled Soul), along with access to stronger routes depending on your remaining credits.

In real testing, Aerolink handles practical coding tasks well within the free limits. For example, it can review code files, update themes (such as switching an HTML report from dark to light mode), generate structured feedback, and perform small edits or documentation updates. The interface includes usage tracking so you stay aware of remaining balance.

While the free quota is modest and best suited for lighter workloads, experiments, and code reviews rather than heavy long-running agents, it offers a convenient zero-cost entry point. Higher paid plans expand limits for heavier use. Watch the full video for the complete sign-up walkthrough, key creation, VS Code configuration, and live coding demo.
