Free routes for Moonshot AI models — third-party hosting
Moonshot AI is the model vendor here, not the seller: each route below is $0 on its host's terms and links the host's own official page — worth re-checking there before relying on it. These rows come from the same tracked data as the table above (model→route mapping); each route stays counted on its host's provider page.
