Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI model right now?

GPT-6.1 Sol leads for coding and agent workflows, Claude Opus 5.5 handles the heaviest reasoning and writing, and DeepSeek V4 Flash is the cheapest capable option. No single model wins everywhere — the right pick depends on your workload and budget.

What is the cheapest AI API?

MiMo V2.6 Flash at $0.14/$0.29 per million tokens and DeepSeek V4 Flash at $0.14/$0.43 are the cheapest capable models on the endpoint. APItokendeal prepaid token packs cut GPT and Claude pricing by up to 70% versus official rates.

Which AI model has the longest context window?

GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, GPT-6 Astra and GPT-5.6 Terra support about 1.05M tokens; GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Kimi K3 reach 1M tokens. Most models now support at least 128K tokens.

Can I use multiple AI models with one API key?

Yes. APItokendeal provides one OpenAI-compatible API key for 30+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Zhipu, Moonshot, Alibaba, Xiaomi and MiniMax. One bill, prepaid token packs, and no surprise costs.

How do I compare model pricing before I buy?

Open the model catalog and sort by official input price, then check the weightage column — that is the multiplier applied to your prepaid token balance. Lower weightage means more of your balance goes further on that model.
