> Cun.ai
Cun.ai is a commercial AI relay aggregator based on the New-API framework, providing access to GPT, Claude, and DeepSeek. It targets Chinese developers with localized payment methods and a substantial signup credit promotion.
// pros
- New-API based, OpenAI-compatible, has /v1/* and a key-generating console, open registration
- Relatively high new-user credit (~60-140 RMB (≈$20.83)) to validate real scenarios
- Wide model coverage (GPT/Claude/DeepSeek/Gemini/Qwen/GLM, etc.)
- High community buzz in 2026
// cons
- Free is a one-off new-user credit, not sustained; essentially pay-as-you-go/subscription
- A 2026 new site with short history; stability unproven
- Media exposés: relays lure with cheap credits then raise prices/degrade, ban complainers, then domain vanishes and balance zeros; UI 'opus' may actually run a small model; data-resale risk
- /v1/models requires auth, model list not public
A paid commercial-aggregator relay offering new-user credit; free is not a long-term core. Use the credit to test model authenticity in real scenarios, never prepay large sums, top up as needed and cross-verify.
community_reputation
GitHub zzsting88/relayAPI and Zhihu call cun.ai a 2026-launched, high-buzz direct-connect site with ~60 RMB (≈$8.93) signup credit; outlets like NBD warn the relay industry broadly carries shutdown, downgrade and data-resale risks — test with the credit before committing.
imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it
How we estimated this: the free allowance is converted to a dollar value using the provider’s own pay-as-you-go rates for the models a typical developer would reach for. When the allowance is metered in requests, tokens or minutes rather than dollars, we assume median usage of the cheapest capable model. Because assumptions are involved, the figure carries the est. flag — treat it as an order of magnitude, not a quote.
note: Signup credit up to approx. $20.83 (RMB 140) with redemption codes.

$ Does Cun.ai have a free tier?
Yes — Cun.ai offers a free tier that we value at roughly $20.83 in free credits (estimate — derived from rate-limited usage at pay-as-you-go prices). Always confirm current limits on Cun.ai's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Cun.ai cost per 1M tokens?
Cun.ai does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is Cun.ai safe to use?
Uprouter rates Cun.ai as high risk. Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.

Uprouter runs its own probes; best-effort, not a guarantee. Probe results depend on our network location and cadence — for production, always use the provider’s own status page.
risk_&_confidence
Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
