| Notes | Permanently free small models with rate caps alongside a large paid catalog. Official docs fetch attempts (docs.siliconflow.com) returned 404 this session, so international-vs-CN endpoint split, streaming, and tool-calling support remain unconfirmed. Guide pass 2026-07-17: international endpoint api.siliconflow.com/v1 confirmed in official docs (docs.siliconflow.com quickstart); unprobed. LIVE PROBE 2026-07-25: key returned HTTP 401 'Api key is invalid' — the key is dead/expired. PETER: re-mint at cloud.siliconflow.cn. Provider config unchanged; this is a key issue, not a catalog issue. |
