Recommended path
Start from the main Google AI (Gemini) profile and confirm whether it fits your task.
Create an API key after signup and use the 免费 API 无需信用卡 first.
Run one or two real tasks before paying or switching providers.
If access is unstable, compare relay options or local alternatives.
Production decision checks
Google AI (Gemini) free credits are for validation. Before launch, record cost per 1K requests, retry-adjusted cost, and a monthly spend cap.
If you already use the OpenAI SDK, verify Google AI (Gemini) base URL, model names, streaming, tool calling, and JSON mode before migration.
Keep one similar provider or OpenLLMAPI route ready so credit exhaustion, regional access issues, or model deprecations do not break users.
Save this source snapshot plus the official console state so future quota, pricing, and rate-limit changes can be audited.
