**Nous Research's [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com/cloud) launched on 2026-04-27 as an AI-gateway subscription**. **A single OAuth login unlocks 300+ frontier, agentic-oriented models** ([Claude](../columns/claude-sonnet-5-anthropic-release-2026-06-30), GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, [Qwen](../columns/qwen36-35b-a3b-uncensored-abliterated-2026-07), [Kimi](../columns/kimi-k2-7-code-moonshot-ai-2026-06), GLM, MiniMax, Grok, and more), plus a **Tool Gateway** (web search, image generation, TTS, browser automation) and **Nous Chat**. Designed as the **official backend for Nous Research's Hermes Agent**, it removes per-vendor API-key juggling. **Pricing**: **Free $0/month** ($0.10 credit) and **Plus $20/month** (300+ models, hosted tools, $22 worth of monthly credits with rollover). API access with [API Docs](https://portal.nousresearch.com/api-docs) enables programmatic integration through an OpenAI-compatible API on a monthly-credit model. **Strategic significance**: the AI-side equivalent of the integration trend from our ["just deploy everything to Cloudflare" column](../columns/cloudflare-only-stack-viral-2026-07) — a **"run everything through Nous Portal"** approach that avoids per-vendor lock-in and gives fast access to the newest models, with rollover credits making cost management manageable. Caveats: dependency on Nous Portal itself, coupling with the Hermes Agent ecosystem, and data-protection terms remain those of each underlying model vendor at the enterprise contract layer.
