New Provider suggestion

by

I’m opening this thread because I saw that you’re planning to add more providers, and I wanted to recommend Pollinations.AI.

Pollinations is a solid multi-model AI provider that gives new users 1 free pollen at signup (1 pollen = $1), which is enough to experiment with several models.

If you end up adding Pollinations, users can also receive 10 free pollen per day by submitting an app to their GitHub repository and linking it. You’ll receive approval within a few days, and the free daily pollen stacks with any paid usage.

I’ve been using Pollinations for a long time and can confidently say it’s a reliable and developer-friendly provider with excellent pricing.
