Silicon Flow

China-based AI inference aggregator: one API key for many open-source and Chinese models (coding, chat, multimodal).

getModelKey links official API key pages only. We do not sell, generate, or broker API keys.

Overview

Silicon Flow (硅基流动) is a China-based AI inference platform that aggregates many coding and reasoning models behind one API, including open-source and Chinese-language options.

It suits teams that want a single key for multiple models—code assistants, chat, and multimodal workloads—without registering separately with every upstream vendor.

Silicon Flow operates two regional sites: the China site (siliconflow.cn) for domestic users with RMB billing and local compliance, and the global site (siliconflow.com) for international users.

How to Get an API Key

  1. Open the official Silicon Flow API key page at cloud.siliconflow.cn/me/account/ak and sign in or register.
  2. Create a new API key in the console, then copy and store it securely—keys are usually shown only once.
  3. Call Silicon Flow’s documented API base URL with the key as a Bearer token, following their OpenAI-compatible or platform-specific examples.
  4. Keep the key in server-side environment variables; rotate it immediately if it is exposed.

FAQ

Is Silicon Flow an official console for every model it lists?

No. It is an aggregator/inference platform. Billing, quotas, and availability follow Silicon Flow’s policies and may differ from each model’s original vendor.

Can getModelKey create a Silicon Flow key for me?

No. This site only links the official key page. You must create the key in Silicon Flow’s own console.

Where should I check pricing and free credits?

Always check Silicon Flow’s official site and docs. Offers and rates change; we do not publish fixed prices here.
