Frequently asked questions
Free access, setup, and what to expect.
Elephant 1 is available with up to 50 requests / day free through OpenRouter (< $10 credits). Additional limits apply at the same time: 20 requests / minute. Free allowances can change. Check the Elephant 1 provider limits before you start.
To use Elephant 1, choose one of the listed Elephant 1 API providers and follow the provider’s account and API-key setup guide. Copy the Elephant 1 model ID and connection settings for your chosen provider into your app or API client. Model IDs can differ between providers. API requests go directly to the provider; Free Models is a comparison site.
Elephant 1 accepts text as listed input formats. Listed output formats include decisions. Image or audio input support does not imply image or audio generation. Check the chosen provider’s Elephant 1 documentation for supported file types and request formats.
Elephant 1 has a listed context window of 16K tokens. Tokens are small pieces of content rather than a word count. Instructions, conversation history, and other inputs use context space, and the response also needs room. The maximum output length for Elephant 1 may be smaller than the context window and can vary by provider.
Neither reasoning nor tool calling support is listed for Elephant 1. Reasoning enables additional processing for complex problems. Tool calling allows a model to request functions that your app executes. Check the chosen provider’s documentation for capability availability and setup.
