name: Preferred Networks PLaMo developer console and free surfaces
description: >-
  Preferred Networks operates a real developer console for the PLaMo API and two free, no-cost ways
  to exercise PLaMo before or alongside paying for it. It does NOT publish a test/live key split,
  test fixtures, magic identifiers, time simulation, or any sandbox environment with separate
  semantics — those fields are recorded as absent rather than filled.
console:
  published: true
  url: https://console.platform.preferredai.jp/

- name: Free plan
  status: announced-not-yet-available
  note: >-
    A zero-price API plan is published on the pricing page with the CTA disabled and labelled
    "in preparation"; PFN's 2026-06-22 plan notice states only Standard and Provider are available.
    See plans/preferred-networks-plans-pricing.yml.
- name: Signup credit
  note: >-
    Campaign promotion codes grant yen-denominated credit at signup (e.g. an ICPC 2025 Yokohama grant
    of 20,000 yen valid to 2026-07-31). Campaign-specific and expiring, not a standing free tier.
test_mode:
  separate_environment: false
  test_key_prefix: none published
  live_key_prefix: none published
  test_fixtures: none published
  magic_identifiers: none published
  time_simulation: none published
  note: >-
    There is one set of API keys and one set of endpoints. A developer rehearsing a call has no
    non-billing mode; the closest published affordance is POST /v1/tokenize, which prices the input
    side of a request without running a generation.
