TackleKey enables free API test calls for new accounts

TackleKey has introduced a new feature allowing accounts with zero balance to make a single API call to free model IDs. This initial call serves to verify the setup before any payment is required. Users can then add a small amount, such as 5 CNY, to test paid models, with the live model ID needing to be copied each time due to potential availability changes. AI

IMPACT Simplifies initial testing and onboarding for developers using AI APIs.
