Skip the begging. Skip the billing. Steal the thunder.
What Is This & Why Should You Care?
This is the part where people pretend to be hackers but are really just copy-pasting cool stuff.
You’re getting a list of AI tools and tricks that are completely free, not advertised, and somehow still legal.
Think of it like sneaking into the VIP lounge because no one changed the default lock.
1.
Cypher Alpha: The Secret Model That’s Just… There
What is it?
A mystery AI model with zero announcement, sitting quietly on OpenRouter like it’s doing nothing.
It has:
- 64,000 memory tokens (that’s more than your ex remembers about fights)
- Can use tools (like code, calculators, maybe summon demons—who knows)
- Costs exactly $0
How to use it:
- Go here: https://openrouter.dev
- Make an account → grab an API key
- Plug the model name in:
"openrouter/cypher-alpha:free"
- Boom. You’re now using a model no one talks about.
Why it’s funny:
They dropped it July 1st… and then just left it there. Like a forgotten child at a mall.
2.
Google Veo 3: AI Video Maker on Google’s Tab
What is it?
A tool that makes full-blown AI videos. Google charges for it… unless you trick it with trial credits.
What you get:
- $300 free credits (which you will absolutely waste on dumb stuff)
- 7–8 Veo videos per day
- Looks like movie trailers made by caffeine-fueled robots
How to unlock it:
- Sign up here: https://cloud.google.com
- Get the $300 in free credits
- Enable Vertex AI + Media Studio
- Pick the “veo-3” model
- Type your prompt → hit generate → go make popcorn
Why it works:
Because Google is too big to keep track of who’s freeloading. You’re welcome.
3.
Baidu ERNIE 4.5: China Said “Take It All”
What is it?
Baidu casually dropped their giant AI models on GitHub like it was a group project they didn’t care about.
You can download the weights. All of them. No password, no NDA, just vibes.
What’s inside:
- Models up to 300 BILLION parameters
- Code + tools to run them
- Multimodal, meaning it probably understands images, videos, feelings, guilt
How to get it:
- GitHub: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/ERNIE
- Also on Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/baidu
How to run it:
- Install PaddlePaddle (it’s like PyTorch’s cousin who lives in China)
- Pick a small version unless your PC runs on dragon blood
- Run prompts, get answers, pretend you’re in charge of the AI revolution
Warning:
The 300B version will melt your laptop. Literally.
4.
6,500+ Real AI Prompts That Shouldn’t Be Public (But Are)
What is it?
Someone leaked thousands of system prompts used by major AI services.
You know—the ones that tell the model to behave, answer a certain way, or pretend it’s not evil.
Now they’re yours.
What you get:
- JSON + YAML dumps full of real prompts
- Stuff from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and others
- Some of it is weird. Like “do not tell jokes in first person” weird.
Where to get it:
- Dev article: https://dev.to/itshayder/leaked-6500-secret-ai-system-prompts-from-top-companies-engineering-gold-revealed-on-github-42lj
- GitHub dump: https://github.com/itshayder/secret-ai-prompts
How to use it:
- Download the repo
- Open the “top_prompts” folder
- Copy anything that sounds cool
- Paste into your own bots like you wrote it yourself
Small Warnings That Will Save You Pain
- OpenRouter might throttle you if 900 people jump on Cypher Alpha
- Google Cloud free credits = 1 per account, so don’t mess it up
- Paddle isn’t PyTorch, so your normal brain may not apply
- Leaked prompts are unfiltered. Some are genius, others look like they were typed by someone mid-seizure
“Wait, So What Do I Actually Do?”
Here’s your dumb-proof roadmap:
Make an OpenRouter key ➜ Use Cypher Alpha ➜ Feel smart
Sign up for Google Cloud ➜ Enable Veo ➜ Make AI trailers
Download ERNIE from GitHub ➜ Run the 3B model ➜ Brag online
Get the leaked prompts ➜ Feed them to your chatbot ➜ Become the prompt god
Final Thought
If you’re still paying for AI tools in 2025…
That’s like buying bottled air. From a vending machine. In a wind tunnel.
You’re not stealing.
You’re just… clicking better.
