This will print a table in your console for all free models' **names*s and slugs like following:

Run with --json to get the JSON for more detailed info than the above table, but fewer details than the original response

node get_free_models_on_openrouter.js --json

Run with --verbose to get the original response.

node get_free_models_on_openrouter.js --json

But you will know, free models are slow and have always reached their rate limits.
