Free API and pricing notes

Public Gradio endpoint

The Gradio config exposes /gradio_api; availability depends on the public demo queue and service limits.

Access and production risk

Mainland China friendly / direct path likely

Xiaohongshu-hosted domain is directly accessible; concurrency and stability depend on the public Gradio queue.

How to set it up

Create an API key and copy the provider endpoint from official docs.

Export the key into your shell session.

Send a minimal chat completion payload with cURL.

Check status code, JSON body, and rate-limit headers.

Move the tested endpoint into your app or fallback relay.
