## Notes for Agents

- Prefer the model and provider detail pages for exact model IDs, base URLs, limits, and free-tier requirements.
- Model availability, rate limits, and free status can change. Check the page-level freshness and status indicators before citing a model as currently available.
- Directory URLs use trailing slashes, for example /models/ and /providers/. Leaf pages omit trailing slashes, for example /free-llm-api-keys and /about.
