}'Free API and pricing notes
Trial credits / startup credits may be available after signup or sales contact
Baseten is more of a production model deployment platform than a simple public model directory; free trials must be confirmed in the dashboard or with sales.
Access and production risk
Relay or proxy may be needed
Mainland China access and GPU-region latency require testing; for China-facing apps, prepare OpenLLMAPI, your own relay, or local inference fallbacks.
Decision checklist
Check Baseten free credits and rate limits.
Compare same-category providers and Mainland China access needs.
