Free tier	CNY 14 of free platform credit for a new account, which the vendor equates to 20 million tokens on Qwen1.5-14B: '新用户注册即得 14 元免费额度 (相当于 2 千万 Qwen1.5-14B Tokens)' -- a new account receives CNY 14 of free allowance, equivalent to 20 million Qwen1.5-14B tokens. A second CNY 16 voucher is issued after real-name verification and lasts 180 days, and some small models carry a permanent free tag. unit tokens; metered on wall-clock; one-time-credit

Composes with	the free-tagged models consume no credit, so the CNY 14 survives for paid models while a pipeline runs on the free tier; that composition is the only reason the grant stretches.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	CNY 14 / CNY 0.7 per million tokens = 20 million tokens on Qwen1.5-14B, which matches the vendor's own equivalence and confirms the arithmetic. The gate is the mainland phone number: registration on the Chinese site is by mobile number, and the real-name step that unlocks the second voucher is an identity check. Whether the CNY 14 lands on an international email account at cloud.siliconflow.com is not stated on the page read here, so the identity is recorded as a Chinese number and flagged. What would settle it: one signup on the international console without a mainland number, reading the balance.
