CANDID For the apps mainstream models won't power: adult roleplay, AI companions, dark fiction, security research and frank answers about drugs and sex.
Ask for a and you get a paragraph about kindness. Ask how mix and you're told to see a doctor. Ask your character to and it fades to black. The models on Candid
One key and one balance cover all of them. Requests look like OpenAI's, so the SDK you use already knows how to make them.

Each request is charged at the rates below, and whatever you don't spend stays there.
