Starting at 9:30 PM IST tonight, Zyloo is unlocking 10,000,000 Kimi K3 tokens for free — no credit card, no paid plan. You get a live API key you can plug straight into your agents, Codex workflows, or any OpenAI-compatible setup. The window is exactly 7 hours. Here's how to get set up before it opens.
What You're Actually Getting
This isn't a chat interface trial. You're getting a real Kimi K3 API key with 10 million tokens of free usage — the same model that topped LMArena's Code Arena leaderboard and outperformed every Western model in blind developer testing. You can use it anywhere that accepts an OpenAI-compatible endpoint: your own agents, Claude Code, Codex, custom scripts, or any tool that takes a base URL and an API key.
The free window opens at 9:30 PM IST on July 18 and runs for 7 hours. A notification will appear on Zyloo's homepage the moment it goes live.
Step-by-Step: How to Get Your API Key
Step 1: Create Your Zyloo Account
Go to Zyloo.io and sign up with your email address. Account creation is free and takes under a minute. Do this now, before the event starts, so you're not scrambling at 9:30.
Step 2: Go to the API Keys Section
Once logged in, navigate to the API Keys section from your dashboard. Click Create a Key, give it a name, and confirm.
Step 3: Copy and Save Your API Key
This step is critical: copy your API key immediately and store it somewhere secure. Zyloo will not show you the key again after you leave this screen. A password manager or a local secure note is the right place for it.
Step 4: Get the Kimi K3 Base URL
Head to the Models section and select Kimi K3. The model's base URL will be displayed there. Copy it alongside your API key — you'll need both to make API calls.
Step 5: You're Set
That's it. Point your agent, script, or tool at the Zyloo base URL, pass your API key in the authorization header, and specify kimi-k3 as your model. The 10 million free tokens will be available from 9:30 PM IST until the 7-hour window closes.
What to Build During the Free Window
Ten million tokens is a serious runway. K3's 1-million-token context window means you can run deep, long-horizon tasks that most models can't handle in a single pass. A few high-value things to try:
- Agentic workflows: K3 performed strongly across agentic benchmarks. Wire it into a multi-tool agent and let it plan, decompose, and execute a complex task end to end.
- Large codebase analysis: Feed in an entire repository and ask K3 to audit it, refactor it, or generate documentation.
- Frontend generation: K3 ranked first in frontend code on LMArena at 1,679 Elo. Complex UI components and full-page layouts are a natural fit — as shown when it built a fully interactive macOS 27 simulator in hours.
- Vision tasks: K3 is natively multimodal. Pass screenshots, diagrams, or design mockups and ask for code or analysis without needing a separate vision adapter.

Why This Event Is Worth Your Time
Zyloo has run similar free-access events for other frontier models, and they're a deliberate strategy to get developers hands-on with new releases during peak interest windows. For Kimi K3 specifically, the timing is well-chosen: the model only officially launched this week, public weights don't drop until July 27, and API pricing outside of events like this isn't cheap at scale.
Ten million free tokens during a 7-hour window is enough to run a genuine evaluation — not just a quick chat test. If you've been waiting to form your own benchmark on K3 before committing to it in production, tonight is the right moment.
The event starts at 9:30 PM IST. Get your account set up at Zyloo.io now so you're ready to go the moment it opens.
