I run Standard Compute and would like to propose its one-time, no-card API trial for the trial-credit section. I tried the preferred web submission form, but it returned a Cloudflare block, so I am using the issue route offered in CONTRIBUTING.md. There is no .github issue-template directory in the current default branch.

The routing model identifier is standardcompute; available underlying models can change, so I would not describe any individual frontier model as permanently free. The Python setup example was executed successfully against the live API.
The README has a One-Time Trial Credits section, while the inclusion criteria also mention a free-forever option. If a permanent free tier is mandatory even for that section, this provider does not qualify and please close this suggestion. This is a small connection-testing allowance, not a recurring free service or a free production workload.
