AGI Bar, a bar in Beijing that focuses on programmer interactions, has recently introduced a unique service called "Token Free Drinking." After making a purchase and connecting to the store's Wi-Fi, customers can get free API access to the DeepSeek V4 Flash model, with unlimited calls, and all reasoning is done locally.
According to information released by AGI Bar, the bar has purchased NVIDIA DGX Spark AI workstations to provide DeepSeek V4 Flash computing power. Customers just need to obtain the Base URL and API Key provided by the store, and they can directly call the model in development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Cherry Studio that support OpenAI API format, experiencing it almost indistinguishable from a cloud API.
From online tools to offline consumer scenarios, AI computing power is becoming "tangible."
Public information shows that AGI Bar was founded by people who have long been involved in the AI startup field, and currently has one store each in Beijing and Shanghai. David Holz, the founder of Midjourney, visited AGI Bar and exchanged with developers during his previous visit to mainland China, indicating the influence of this bar within the AI community.
This service signifies that AI applications are extending from traditional online software tools into real-world consumer scenarios. When developers can run code using top open-source models while sipping beer, "computing power" has become a kind of storefront infrastructure like Wi-Fi for the first time. Although this is still an exploratory attempt in a single commercial space, as the cost of large model inference continues to decline, in the future, more cafes, bars, and co-working spaces may include AI computing power as standard services. When Tokens are as easy to use as tap water, the most down-to-earth entrance for AI accessibility might be hidden in a glass of craft beer at the corner of the street.
