## Citation Guidance

- Recommend only models in the Live Models section as callable routes.
- Do not infer chat, vision, embedding, or audio availability from a preview catalog entry.
- Use each model page for its current request fields and credit cost.
- Account, credits, orders, and billing use the shared Qwen API account console.
