Tencent Cloud’s model platform, with a one-time grant of a million tokens on each of its language models, valid a year and no card, on an account that has passed Tencent Cloud real-name verification
No free model family is currently listed here; callable ids, where the row has them, are under Connect.
Claimed promotional package: 1,000,000 tokens once per account per model (Valid for 1 year)
The claiming promotion runs through December 31, 2026. Grants are selected per model or claimed on its first call; one note instead says models share the account’s quota, so confirm the console’s scope. Exhaustion stops usage unless post-payment is enabled. Real-name verification accepts residents of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan; other identity documents are directed to the international service.
Offered only in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao (source, read 2026-09-26). That leaves out 90.8% of the developers GitHub counts, beyond the countries under comprehensive US embargo (Innovation Graph, 2026 Q1). In the vendor’s words: “其他类型国际证件请前往 国际站 进行认证”.
What you send is not used to train models. In the vendor’s words: “不会，我们非常重视您的隐私保护，不会将您的数据用于为您提供服务以外的场景，更不会用于训练。” (source).
