- Open billing and choose USDC on Arbitrum, Alipay, or WeChat Pay. The minimum top-up is $5.
- Use the model page or API endpoint `https://97ai.97claude.com/api/chat` with `model: "chat/gemini-2.5-pro"`.
When this is better than Google official billing
Choose 97AI.PRO when you do not have a US or EU credit card, when Google's direct billing is not available in your region, or when you want one wallet for Gemini 2.5 Pro plus chat, image, video, audio, and embedding models. Official billing is still best when your company requires a direct vendor contract.
