AI API Router Directory

VSLLM (Weiyun Model Open Platform) is a commercial AI API relay gateway that aggregates multiple large models. It is OpenAI-compatible and features a daily auto-refreshing free quota for new sign-ups. Claims to offer highly competitive, transparent pricing based on actual token usage.

Free subscription auto-refreshes daily without claiming: ~20 API calls + ~100K tokens/day (non-cumulative, reset next day) ~ $3/mo at $1/1M tokens; also GitHub-star and daily check-in reward activities.

Tencent CodeBuddy (CN) — Tencent's AI coding tool (IDE, plugin, CLI) backed by the TokenHub LLM platform. Proxies open-weight models from Z.ai, Moonshot, MiniMax, and DeepSeek under a monthly Token Plan (credit-based). Compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cline, Cursor, OpenCode, Kilo Code, etc. Note: pricing/model data below is from the documented Tencent Cloud Token Plan pages; CN endpoint specifics (copilot.tencent.com) were not separately fetchable, so this reflects the TokenHub plan as documented.

Credits are the unified billing unit; per-model deduction coefficients apply with DeepSeek peak/off-peak pricing (off-peak = half peak). No clean 1 credit = $X mapping documented, so no creditValueUsd.

Factory provides the 'Autonomy Stack' for enterprise engineering teams, featuring autonomous 'Droids' that code, review PRs, and manage wikis. It offers model routing across 200+ models. Details were checked against the provider's own page at factory.ai.

Hailuo AI is MiniMax's browser-based video and image generator, currently centred on the MiniMax H3 family. The generator form exposes 2K output, 5-second clips, an Omni Reference field accepting up to 12 reference images and a 21:9 aspect ratio option. Official pages state that new users receive free credits on sign-up, and a homepage banner advertises 3,000 free credits for downloading the companion MiniMax Design app; Hailuo also runs a survey task that awards credits. No per-credit or per-second price list was retrievable from the official pages.

Official homepage states new users receive free credits and a banner advertises 3,000 free credits with the MiniMax Design download, but no USD value or per-credit rate is published, so no dollar figure is set (checked 2026-09-16).

LLM7.io is an open-source AI API gateway providing unified access to leading models like GPT and DeepSeek. It stands out for its unique anonymous access tier, allowing developers to test models without registration, and a registration-based free tier with higher limits.

Free relay: ~30 RPM anonymous, rising to ~120 RPM with free token from token.llm7.io (20/min, 100/h sub-caps); base URL api.llm7.io/v1 with api_key 'unused'. No token quota published → no USD estimate.

MiniMax China (minimaxi.com) is the domestic-facing platform for MiniMax's foundation models. It mirrors the global platform's model offering and OpenAI-compatible API but optimizes for mainland China compliance and billing workflows.

No public free-tier information found (researched 2026-08-29).

MiniMax's open platform prices large language models per token with a published input-length threshold: MiniMax-M3 is $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $1.20 per 1M output tokens for prompts up to 512K input tokens, described as a permanent 50% discount off $0.60 / $2.40, and doubles to $0.60 / $2.40 above 512K. M2.7 is $0.30 / $1.20 with prompt-cache reads at $0.06 and writes at $0.375 per 1M tokens; a Priority service tier costs 1.5x standard. The same account also bills video, speech and image work separately, for example H3 video at $0.08 per second in 768P, speech-2.8-hd TTS at $100 per 1M characters and image-01 at $0.0035 per image.

No free tier or free credit stated on official pages (checked 2026-09-16); the documented entry points are prepaid Credits (1,000 credits = $1, packages from $5) and Token Plans from $22 per month.

Routeway is an AI model router and gateway that provides a unified Bearer-auth interface for multiple global and domestic models. It simplifies integration for developers by handling model-specific protocols and providing a consistent management dashboard for keys and usage.
