| Free tier | Not published, and this is the honest finding. The platform's own intro describes the model center as building an object-storage layer specifically for large files — verbatim: '基于平台内的命令行工具，便于 AI 开发者上传和发布模型文件，搭建对象存储体系，提供大文件存储能力，快速上传下载功能，便于 AI 开发者进行模型存储' (object storage system providing large-file storage capability). The dataset center supports private datasets as well as public ones. The openxlab.org.cn docs tree 504'd repeatedly and the upload pages contain no quota statement. unit unlimited; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Identity | email email, plus likely +86 phone — Chinese platform, and prior rounds recorded the pans in this family demanding real-name verification. |
|---|
| Egress | No egress meter found; public models and datasets are anonymously downloadable. Reads are CDN-served. Unverified at the header level because model-detail pages timed out from this network. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not stated |
|---|
| Retention | not stated |
|---|
| Interface | rest, git, cli rest |
|---|
| Tooling | pip install openxlab, then first-party subcommands: openxlab dataset upload-file, openxlab dataset upload-folder, openxlab model upload ... with --dataset-repo/--source-path/--target-path. Python SDK mirrors the CLI (upload_file / upload_folder). Also git+LFS. Real, named, documented client — this passes the tooling filter cleanly. |
|---|
| Composes with | Repos are per-user and per-org and free to create, so capacity is N repos. OpenXLab is the Shanghai AI Lab's public front door (InternLM, OpenDataLab datasets), so its per-repo sizes are already in the tens-of-GB range. Multiplying across accounts is easy but the per-account ceiling is unknown. |
|---|
| Reliability | Model pages return 302 to login for detail views. |
