Choosing a Group (read this before creating a token)
When you create an API Key (token) in the console, you'll be asked to pick a group. The group determines, for that token:
- Which models you can use
- What price you're charged
In one sentence
To use image / video generation, you must create a new token under the media / media-gen group. Using the wrong group results in a "no available channel" error.
How to choose a group
- Open Console → Tokens and click Add Token
- In the Group dropdown, pick the group that matches the model you want to use
- After saving, this token can only use the models in that group
A token belongs to one group only. To use models from different categories, just create several tokens, each set to the correct group.
Which group is for what
| What you want to use | Pick this kind of group |
|---|---|
| Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku, all versions) | Claude-related group |
| OpenAI GPT / Codex | OpenAI GPT-related group |
| Google Gemini | Gemini-related group |
| xAI Grok | Grok group |
| Zhipu GLM | GLM-related group |
| 🎨 Image / video generation | media / media-gen |
The console dropdown is authoritative
The exact group names, price tiers, and whether any promotional groups exist are whatever the "Group" dropdown on the console token page actually shows (we add or adjust them from time to time). The table above only helps you match "which kind of model goes with which kind of group."
Common error: no available channel
A "no available channel" / "no available channel under the current group" error is almost always because you picked the wrong group — the group your token belongs to doesn't contain the model you requested.
How to fix:
- Confirm the model name is spelled correctly (see Quickstart)
- Switch to a group that includes that model, or create a new token under the matching group
- Image / video → must be the
media / media-gengroup
