Is there a Python AI library that works without an API key or account? [closed]

Every AI library I find requires creating an account and managing API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.). For a small project I'm building, this is too much friction.I found that ollama llama3 was a good idea but its about 20Gigs to download

Is there a zero-config Python library that lets me call an AI model without any setup?

maybe you can go to hugging face and find some AI models

You need API keys for cloud-based AI to prevent abuse, at the very least. This is enforced by the API, not the library, so a library won't be able to get around this (unless it's exploting wekanesses in the auth of the API).
