About sponsored/tokens

sponsored/tokens works like an ad-supported inference pool for coding agents. Sponsors put money into a shared pool, developers sign in, get an API key and point their coding agent at the pool to use models without charge, and each session names the payer. Sponsor names appear on the pool map, on developers' account pages and as a final line at the end of a task, linking to the sponsor's site and noting what the session cost them.

When the pool runs dry, developers can continue with their own credits or bring their own provider keys, which are tried after the pool and the balance. Image, speech and music models are reachable by adding a +image, +audio or +music suffix to the model name. The site states that prompts are not retained or used for training, that it uses standard APIs without lock-in, publishes open prices, screens every sponsor and is operated by a European company under GDPR. A launch promo gives sponsors bonus multipliers on their own top-ups.
