New accounts on the international site can start with $1 of free credit, with postpaid per-token billing and no minimum commitment; you can call models listed on the international site such as DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, and MiniMax

Verbatim from the official pricing page: "Flexible token pricing, high usage limits, and postpaid billing—plus $1 in free credits to get you started!" FAQ verbatim: "No, there are no minimum commitments. You only pay for what you use, and you can start with $1 in free credits." Models listed on the same page include DeepSeek-V3.2, DeepSeek-R1, Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B and the Qwen3.6 / Qwen3.5 series, GLM-5.3 / GLM-5.3-Flash / GLM-5.2 / GLM-5.1, Kimi-K3 / Kimi-K2.7-Code / Kimi-K2.6, and MiniMax-M3; the FAQ notes that you can set a monthly spending cap in the account dashboard.

⚠️This is a separate quota on the international site (siliconflow.com, USD-priced), and it uses a different account system from the domestic site siliconflow already on this site (cloud.siliconflow.cn, RMB-priced, models of 9B and below permanently free + a real-name quota). Whether the $1 credit has a validity period, is limited to new users, and can be used on all listed models is not stated on the official page and was not verified. Whether a card is forced was not verified by completing sign-up. Reachability from mainland China was not tested.
