ModelScope
Should you desire to avoid topping up account balances arbitrarily, the ModelScope community yields a finite spectrum of non-paid quotas targeting models such as DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi—positioning it as a spectacular alternative. Be advised, however, that sporadically, the community API route suffers from spotty uptime.
