 A 50-agent web-research pass (official docs + last-7-days news, adversarially verified) refreshed the whole catalog. Highlights:
 
-- **Removed / no free tier (2026):** `chutes` (free tier ended 2026-03), `phind` (company shut down 2026-01), `kluster` (sunset 2026-06-09 → MITO), `gitlawb` + `gitlawb-gmi` (MiMo free revoked 2026-05-24, Nemotron promo ended 2026-06 — re-verified 2026-06-18), `aimlapi` (free tier paused — re-verified 2026-06-18), `yi` (Yi-Light retired, pay-as-you-go — re-verified 2026-06-18), `featherless-ai` (no current free tier). `iflytek` / `sparkdesk` stay listed but carry a ToS-caution note (Spark Lite is free; the ToS restricts proxy/relay use).

 - **Gemini** — `2.0 Flash` / `2.0 Flash-Lite` shut down 2026-06-01 and `2.5 Pro` left the free tier (2026-04); free tier is now **Flash-family only** (2.5/3/3.1/3.5 Flash + Gemma). The catalog now **pools** the Flash family (was inflated by counting each variant separately: 462M → 60M).
 - **Corrected numbers:** `cloudflare-ai` 122M → **30M** (real 10k-Neurons/day), `doubao` reclassified as a one-time signup credit (not recurring), `llm7` 4M → **150M** (documented 5M tokens/day), `together` "-Free" endpoints discontinued → $25 signup credit also removed (requires $5 minimum purchase, no free trial), `longcat` Preview ended + Flash models retired → **LongCat-2.0** only, reclassified as a one-time **10M**-token signup credit (KYC-gated, not recurring).
 - **New free providers discovered:** ⭐ **Kilo Code** (`kilo-gateway` — rotating "Auto Free" set: NVIDIA Nemotron 3 family, StepFun, Poolside, Nex-N2-Pro), ⭐ **OpenCode Zen** (`opencode-zen` — 6 rotating free coding models), ⭐ **Z.AI / Zhipu** (`glm-cn` — GLM-4-Flash / 4.5-Flash / 4.7-Flash permanently free + 20M signup bonus), and `arcee-ai` Trinity Large Preview.
