The free-model lineup rotates. Auto Free routes over the free models in the catalog’s autoRouting list. Other models use pay-as-you-go credits or a Kilo Pass subscription.
Not offered in Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea (source, read 2026-10-30). That leaves out under 0.1% of the developers GitHub counts, beyond the countries under comprehensive US embargo (Innovation Graph, 2026 Q1). In the vendor’s words: “including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, or so-called Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine”.
What you send may be used to train or improve models. In the vendor’s words: “Prompts may be logged by the upstream provider and used to improve their services.” (source).
