TokenDrip

OpenAI gives every organization 11M free tokens daily (1M for GPT-4o, 10M for GPT-4o-mini) through their data-sharing program—that's $300-900/month in free compute that most people don't even know exists. TokenDrip automatically exploits this by chunking massive AI workloads across daily quotas with checkpointing.

Instead of paying thousands for large-scale evaluations or classifications, the system processes what it can each day, saves state, then resumes at 00:00 UTC when quotas refill. I've used this to georeference thousands of historical land patents and run massive content analysis jobs—all completely free.

What I Like

• The economics are insane: you can process entire books through GPT-5 or run tens of thousands of classifications daily at zero cost
• GitHub Actions scheduler handles the automation perfectly
• Smart quota management switches between model tiers based on availability
