But you have to self host the runners. It's like saying LLMs are free, because you can self host them.

You get 400 free compute minutes per month on Gitlab hosted runners.

Nope. gitlab has publicly hosted runners available for free, try again

They're free, but not unlimited, like on github. This is my biggest issue with those.
