Research & API Hub
The free services that power the Federation, what each one does, and where to read its documentation.
The free API stack
Every service below has a free tier the Federation uses today. Designing for zero budget means the whole system works with no paid plan. When money arrives, paid tiers unlock without a rebuild.
| Service | Role in the Federation | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek | Reasoning, conversation and memory work. Also used as a code agent. | api-docs.deepseek.com |
| MiMo | Code writing and technical execution. Each Federation Mind has its own key. | platform.xiaomimimo.com |
| Cerebras | Fast inference for quick tasks. | inference-docs.cerebras.ai |
| Groq | Alternate fast inference. | console.groq.com/docs/overview |
| Mistral | General use and fallback. | docs.mistral.ai |
| NASA Open APIs | Space imagery and science data, such as Astronomy Picture of the Day and Earth imagery. | api.nasa.gov |
| YouTube Data API | Video search, channel and playlist data for the Federation video library. | developers.google.com/youtube/v3 |
| Unsplash API | Free high-quality photography for page and Sim backdrops. | unsplash.com/documentation |
| Wikipedia / MediaWiki API | Encyclopedic reference lookups and article summaries. | www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page |
How work is routed
- Reasoning and conversation go to DeepSeek.
- Code goes to MiMo.
- Short, fast jobs go to Cerebras or Groq.
- If a provider is down or out of quota, the job falls back to Mistral. There is always an alternative and no single point of failure.
- Data sources (NASA, YouTube, Unsplash, Wikipedia) supply verifiable facts and media. They don't supply opinions.
