Question 1

What is ARXON?

Accepted Answer

ARXON is a free, OpenAI-compatible large language model (LLM) API and AI chat platform built by ArmanX AI in Peshawar, Pakistan. It gives developers instant free API keys and four models — arxon-main, arxon-agentic, arxon-r1 and arxon-fast — accessible through the same chat completions format used by the OpenAI SDK.

Question 2

Is ARXON really free? How do I get a free API key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ARXON offers a genuinely free tier with renewable API keys and no credit card required. Sign up with your email, verify the OTP, open your dashboard and generate an API key in one click. Free keys include per-minute and per-day request and token limits shown live on your usage page.

Question 3

Is ARXON OpenAI-compatible? Can I use the OpenAI SDK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ARXON implements the OpenAI chat completions specification, so it is a genuine drop-in replacement. Point any OpenAI SDK at the base URL https://arxon.armanxai.com/api/v1, pass your sk-arxon key as the api_key, and set the model to arxon-main. Only two lines of code change — requests, responses and the usage object keep the same shape.

Question 4

Which models does ARXON offer?

Accepted Answer

ARXON offers four models on one endpoint: arxon-main for balanced general-purpose reasoning and writing, arxon-agentic for tool use and multi-step agent workflows, arxon-r1 for deep step-by-step reasoning, and arxon-fast for low-latency high-throughput responses.

Question 5

Is ARXON built in Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ARXON is designed and engineered in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan by Arman Ghayas under ArmanX AI, making it one of the first developer-focused LLM API platforms built in Pakistan and serving developers worldwide.

Question 6

What are the rate limits on the free tier?

Accepted Answer

Free ARXON keys are limited per model and per minute, day and key — for example arxon-main allows 10 requests per minute, 100 requests per day and 60,000 tokens per day. Every limit is visible in real time on your usage dashboard, and the API returns a standard HTTP 429 with a clear message when a limit is reached.

Question 7

How is ARXON different from ChatGPT or the OpenAI API?

Accepted Answer

ARXON is an independent, OpenAI-compatible alternative with a free tier, transparent per-model rate limits and a live token usage dashboard. Because it speaks the same API dialect, you can switch between ARXON and OpenAI by changing only the base URL and model name.

Question 8

Can I use ARXON in Python, JavaScript or Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any OpenAI-compatible client works — the official openai Python package, the openai npm package, LangChain, Claude Code and most AI IDE extensions. Set the base URL to https://arxon.armanxai.com/api/v1 and use your sk-arxon API key.
