Quick verdict

Free API: 公测免费额度
Rate limits: 待官方控制台确认
Best model starting point: DeepSeek-V4-Flash
Mainland China access: direct or relatively friendly

Provider fit matrix

Best fit Fast provider evaluation, prototypes, and fallback routing

Watch out Free credits and rate limits can change without warning

Production fallback Keep at least one compatible backup provider before shipping

Production readiness checklist

Quota gate Start inside 公测免费额度; log usage before adding retries or batch jobs.

No-card check Try the free path first, then confirm whether billing is required for API keys, higher RPM, or production endpoints.

Regional smoke test Still run one request from your deployment region and from mainland China if users are there.

Source freshness Snapshot date: 2026-06-16; official quota and pricing can change without notice.

Python setup snapshot

Start with the smallest possible chat completion, then move the key to your server-side secret manager before production.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-sensenova-token-plan-key",
    base_url="https://token.sensenova.cn/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "用三句话总结这份文档"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Free API and pricing notes

公测免费额度

Phone signup reportedly unlocks a quick-start API key; endpoint reported as token.sensenova.cn/v1/chat/completions. Confirm in the official console.

Access and production risk

Mainland China friendly / direct path likely

China-based platform; expected to be China-friendly, but real availability, speed, and verification requirements need console validation.

How to set it up

Create or locate your provider API key in the official dashboard.

Install the OpenAI-compatible Python SDK or the provider-supported SDK.

Set the API key in an environment variable instead of hard-coding secrets.

Run a small SenseNova chat completion with DeepSeek-V4-Flash.

Watch free credits, RPM/TPM limits, response shape, and error messages before scaling.

SenseNova production validation table

Use this table before sending real users, scheduled agents, or paid traffic to SenseNova. The goal is to validate source freshness, quota behavior, regional access, and fallback needs instead of trusting a stale free-credit claim.

Check Pass condition If it fails

Signup and billing state Key creation works and the account can spend the recorded 公测免费额度. Compare SenseNova alternatives or route through a gateway before inviting users.

First request from target region A minimal request succeeds from your deployment region and mainland-China test point if relevant. Do not ship cron jobs or public demos until latency, DNS, TLS, and auth are repeatable.

Quota, retry, and error shape Rate-limit behavior matches the current 待官方控制台确认 note or official dashboard values. Cap retries, add request logging, and keep a second route for 429/5xx bursts.

Cost per accepted task Real prompts stay within your target token, query, image-credit, or compute budget. Use cheaper primary routes, caching, shorter prompts, or fallback only after validation failure.
