Does Qiniu have a free tier?
Yes: your first API key activates a 3M-token free pack (campaign terms — the activity page is authoritative); after that it's per-token billing.
Qiniu: get an API key and write fiction with it on your phone
Creating your first key activates a 3M-token free pack, and signup-to-key even works inside a WeChat mini-program — the lowest-friction key grab among mainland clouds, fronting 50+ open models. This page is the BYOK quick answer for Qiniu: key steps, direct console and pricing links, and the app-side notes that matter. Verified 2026-07-18.
Two links up front: get your key at the official console and check rates on the official pricing page. Prices and free quotas move; the official pages are authoritative.
What does it power inside Foreverse?
The factory preset declares 1 modality flag for Qiniu. The models actually available come from the live catalog fetched in-app — catalogs move fast, and the flag only means the protocol wiring is ready.

How do I get a Qiniu API key?
- Register or sign in at qiniu.com (the whole flow also works inside the Qiniu WeChat mini-program with phone login).
- Open console → AI inference → API Key and create an sk- key.
- Creating your first key activates the 3M-token free pack.
Key in hand: three steps to connect
- Open the app's Settings → AI models & services and find Qiniu in the list (one of 62 presets, with logo and search).
- Paste the key and tap the connectivity test — it fires one real request to verify key and network, and pulls back the model list while it's at it.
- Enable the models you want, then set per-modality defaults (text, image, speech, and video each get their own); continuation, chat, and listening route through them from then on.
The one universal host pitfall: the API host must include its full version prefix (this provider's exact form is in the notes below) — the app never appends /v1 for you.
Qiniu-specific notes
The preset host is https://api.qnaigc.com/v1 (OpenAI-compatible); the Anthropic-compatible base is the bare https://api.qnaigc.com. The console supports per-key spend caps and model allowlists — handy fencing before you lend a key out.
FAQ
Where does the key live once I paste it into the app?
It's stored on your device only, under system-level encryption — never uploaded or synced to any Foreverse server. Requests go straight from your phone to the provider's official endpoint with zero markup. To revoke access, delete the key in the provider's console.
