The Anthropic-style `/messages` route also takes the key in `x-api-key`. No scopes, expiry or per-key limits are documented, and rate limits apply to the account, not the key. The error page says some models answer 403 until real-name authentication is done. |\n| Pricing | Pay per use (from $0.15 / 1M in) · Pay per token, image, video or byte of speech text, with $1 in free credits for a new account. Whether a card is needed to claim the credit was not established. DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash costs $0.15 in, $0.003 cached and $0.60 out per 1M tokens.

The 429 message names the limit reached, such as TPM. No `Retry-After` header is documented |\n| Tool calling | OpenAI-style `tools` with up to 128 functions. Each model page says whether Tools are supported. No `tool_choice` field is in the OpenAPI file's chat schema |\n| Structured output | `response_format` of `json_object`. The DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model page says JSON Mode is supported and Structured Outputs are not |\n| Prompt caching | Cached input prices are published per model, such as $0.003 per 1M tokens on DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. No caching guide is in the docs index |\n| Batch | `/files` and `/batches` in the OpenAPI file, for `/v1/chat/completions` only. The field description gives a maximum window of 24 hours and a minimum of 336 hours |\n| Credentials | API keys created in the console at cloud.siliconflow.com/account/ak, sent as a Bearer token, or in `x-api-key` on `/messages`. No scopes, expiry or per-key limits are documented. Sign-up is through a Google or GitHub account |\n| Deprecation notices | Dated entries in the release notes. Ten model removal notices between 31 December 2025 and 11 June 2026, six of them dated the day of removal. No stated notice period |\n| Data use in the terms | Clause 7.4 says SiliconFlow will not access Interaction Data, has no obligation to store it, will not use or disclose it without authorisation, and uses it only to supply the service. No retention period and no statement on model training were found |\n| Generated media | Image and video URLs are valid for one hour, per the API reference |\n| Contract | SiliconFlow Labs Pte. Ltd., Singapore law, SIAC arbitration in Singapore. Fees are not refunded once due, and a fee dispute must be raised within seven days |\n| Support | help@siliconflow.com and contact@siliconflow.com, and a Discord server |\n| Capabilities | inference.llm, inference.open-weights, embed.text, rerank, image.generate, video.generate, speech.tts, speech.stt |\n| Tags | hosted, model, open-weights, usage-based, free-credit, openapi, llms-txt, openai-compatible, anthropic-compatible, singapore |\n| JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/siliconflow.json |\n\n## Score breakdown (methodology v0.4, October 2026 research run)\n\nAssessed 2026-10-09 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 33 | 6.6 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 65 | 10.6 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 60 | 9.8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 39 | 6.8 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 35 | 4.4 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 47 | 4.1 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 34, provenance 68) | 7% | 8.8 | 51 | 4.5 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **46.7 → D** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 33: Hosted reading. No status page is linked from the site, the docs index or any page read (0). With no page there is no incident record to read (5 of 30). Rate limits are published with numbers by spend tier, from 1,000 requests and 40,000 tokens a minute at L0 to 10,000 and 2,000,000 at L5, on a page served only in Chinese, with per-model figures left to the console (12 of 15). The 429 body is documented and names the limit reached, and the docs say to wait and retry. No `Retry-After` header, backoff figures or idempotency guidance were found (6 of 15). No SLA found. Clause 4.2 of the terms disclaims any uptime or availability commitment (0). The serverless API is generally available, and `/systemone` is marked alpha (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 65: Model reading. Public OpenAPI 3.0 file with 22 operations and 102 schemas, linked from `llms.txt` under the Chinese path only. Its chat model enum of 71 ids includes removed models and omits every model added since July 2026 (19 of 25). `llms.txt` and a Markdown copy of each docs page (10). Guides for function calling, JSON mode, reasoning, prefix and FIM completion. The function calling guide lists only models the release notes show as removed, and its examples use DeepSeek-V2.5 (10 of 20). Typed parameters with 104 enums and required fields. `response_format` is typed as a bare string with an example (10 of 15). Curl and Python examples, an error page with seven HTTP codes and one body code, and 400, 401, 404, 429, 503 and 504 responses in the file (9 of 15). The file's version reads 1.0.0. The release notes are dated, stop at 11 June 2026 and since March 2026 record only model removals (7 of 15).\n- Agent ergonomics 60: Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors). OpenAI-style `tools` with up to 128 functions, and each model page says whether Tools are supported. No `tool_choice` field is in the chat schema and the guide is out of date (12 of 20). `response_format` of `json_object`. The DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash page says Structured Outputs are not supported (7 of 15). Cached input prices are published per model. No caching guide was found (8 of 15). Context listed as 1049K tokens on eleven chat models on the home page, with output up to 393K (14 of 15). `/files` and `/batches` are in the OpenAPI file for chat completions only, with no guide in the English index, no batch price and a window description that contradicts itself (5 of 10). No official SDK. The OpenAI and Anthropic clients work with a changed base URL (6 of 10). Errors carry an HTTP status, a numeric code and a message. No list of codes was found (8 of 15).\n- Security \u0026 auth 39: Model reading. Bearer keys created in the console. No scopes, expiry, per-key limits or rotation are documented, and deletion of a key was not confirmed because the console was not read (15 of 30). The terms say Interaction Data is used only to supply the service and is not used or disclosed without authorisation. No statement on model training was found (12 of 20). The terms say there is no obligation to store Interaction Data. No retention period or zero-retention option is stated, and clause 5.11 allows communications to be recorded and passed to the authorities (6 of 15). The release note of 26 March 2026 describes usage and cost breakdowns and invoice export, and the pricing FAQ says monthly spending limits can be set. No audit log was found (6 of 15). No security.txt (404), disclosure policy, bug bounty or named certification was found on the pages read. The product introduction says the service complies with industry standards and names none (0 of 20).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 35: No machine payment protocol (0). Per-token, per-image and per-video prices on the pricing page, read without a login, such as DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash at $0.15 in and $0.60 out per 1M tokens (20). $1 in free credits for a new account. Whether a card is needed was not established, so this line takes 15 of 20. A person signs up in a browser with a Google or GitHub account, and no key API was found (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 47: Model reading. Hy4-preview is listed as released on 14 September 2026 and the blog's newest posts are dated 28 September 2026 (30). No notice period is stated. Six removal notices from 31 December 2025 to 11 June 2026 are dated the day of removal, and two in March 2026 gave six and seven days (2 of 12). The release notes record about 60 model ids removed in ten notices over the last twelve months (2 of 8). The release notes stop at 11 June 2026 while nine chat models were added afterwards. Support is by email and Discord (6 of 15). Replies in the support channels were not examined (2 of 10). No official SDK. The `langchain-siliconflow` package in the vendor's GitHub organisation was last pushed on 12 December 2025 (3 of 15). The API description and two guides are out of date (2 of 10).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 51: Closed service. The Terms of Use name the entity, Singapore law and SIAC arbitration. They also grant a licence \"for in Singapore\" and forbid use for any commercial purposes, which sits oddly with a paid API (10 of 30). The terms and the privacy policy agree that Interaction Data is processed on the customer's instructions with no obligation to store it. No retention period or DPA was found, and the privacy policy keeps drafting brackets around several values (12 of 30). Dated removal notices in the release notes, with no written policy or notice period (8 of 20). Stripe is named as payment processor and other providers only by type. Data may be handled within or outside Singapore, with no locations given (4 of 20).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (26 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/siliconflow.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/siliconflow.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: the console at cloud.siliconflow.com, so key deletion, per-key settings, spending limits, per-model rate limits, usage logs and whether a card is needed for the free credit were not confirmed\n- unchecked: no request was sent to api.siliconflow.com, so the live model list, the 429 body and headers, and the routing of retired model ids rest on the docs\n- unchecked: whether a status page exists. None is linked from the site or the docs pages read, and no address was guessed\n- unchecked: the rendered API reference pages. The OpenAPI file was read in their place\n- unchecked: the Chinese-language docs beyond the rate limit page, the blog posts themselves, and replies in the Discord server\n- unchecked: model ids for GLM-5.3 and Kimi-K3 follow the vendor's naming pattern and were not read from their model pages\n- The release notes do not say when each entry was published. Six entries carry a label equal to the removal date. Whether customers were told earlier by email was not established, so no deduction is taken\n- The Terms of Use forbid use for any commercial purposes, scraping tools and benchmarking (clauses 3.4 p, i and l). Recorded as a fact with no deduction. It matters before any probe is run\n- The lead was right about the interface and the host. The fine-tuning product is console-only and was removed from batch 4. It is not graded here\n- The pricing page's audio table is headed per 1M UTF-8 bytes while its footnote says per minute and per 1,000 characters\n- `lastRelease` is the release date the site gives for Hy4-preview, the newest model, since the release notes stop at 11 June 2026\n- One slip. The RDAP lookup at rdap.org redirected to rdap.verisign.com before that host's robots.txt was read. rdap.org's own robots.txt request answered 400, and api.github.com's answered 404\n- No SLA, DPA, sub-processor list, security page or official SDK was found. Whether they exist on request is not established\n- Reserved GPUs and fine-tuning share the account and terms and were not graded. The products page marks dedicated endpoints as coming soon\n\n### Sources\n\n- home page with model list, release dates and prices: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- pricing page: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/pricing\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- products page: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/products\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- about page: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/about\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- blog index: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/blog\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model page: \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/models/deepseek-v4-1-flash\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- security.txt (404): \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- robots.txt, site (allows all): \u003chttps://www.siliconflow.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- robots.txt, docs (ai-input=yes): \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- docs index: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/llms.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- quick start: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/userguide/quickstart.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- product introduction: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/userguide/introduction.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- error handling: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/faqs/error-code.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- other issues FAQ: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/faqs/misc.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- rate limits (Chinese page, reached from the English error page's link): \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/cn/userguide/rate-limits/rate-limit-and-upgradation\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- function calling guide: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/userguide/guides/function-calling.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- JSON mode guide: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/userguide/guides/json-mode.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- Claude Code guide: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/usercases/use-siliconcloud-in-ClaudeCode.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- OpenAPI file, read in place of the rendered API reference pages: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/cn/api-reference/openapi.yaml\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- release notes: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/release-notes/overview.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- Terms of Use, updated 9 September 2026: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/legals/terms-of-service.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- Privacy Policy, updated 9 September 2026: \u003chttps://docs.siliconflow.com/en/legals/privacy-policy.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- GitHub organisation repositories: \u003chttps://api.github.com/orgs/siliconflow/repos?per_page=100\u0026sort=pushed\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- GitHub organisation named in the OpenAPI file: \u003chttps://api.github.com/orgs/siliconflow-inc/repos?per_page=100\u0026sort=pushed\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n- domain registration: \u003chttps://rdap.org/domain/siliconflow.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-09)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 68/100, checked 2026-10-09)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | SiliconFlow Labs Pte.
