CTYun Xirang: get an API key and write fiction with it on your phone

A state-carrier cloud with generous free quotas (25M tokens per Qwen-class model; DeepSeek-V4-Flash at ¥1/M input) — the price you pay is an enterprise-flavored flow of service groups, AppKeys, and hash-style model IDs. This page is the BYOK quick answer for CTYun Xirang: 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 CTYun Xirang. 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 CTYun Xirang API key?

Register with Tianyi Cloud (China Telecom) and complete identity verification.
Open the Xirang model-inference console and claim per-model free quotas in the model plaza first.
Under service access, create a service group and bind the model services you want — the system issues the group's AppKey; copy it.
Copy the model ID (a hash string) from the model's detail page — that's what goes into the model parameter, not a model name.

Key in hand: three steps to connect

Open the app's Settings → AI models & services and find CTYun Xirang 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.

CTYun Xirang-specific notes

The preset host https://wishub-x1.ctyun.cn/v1 belongs to the older one-stop platform, which Tianyi Cloud has flagged for retirement; new integrations should use the TokenHub platform at https://wishub-x6.ctyun.cn/v1 — AppKey and host must come from the same platform. The model parameter takes the hash-style model ID from the detail page.

FAQ

Does CTYun Xirang have a free tier?

Yes: each model carries a free quota for two weeks from first use (for example 25M tokens on Qwen-class models, 500K on DeepSeek-V4-Pro); once it's used up or expired, you must manually enable paid service to keep calling.

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.
