# Quickstart

> Create an account, generate an API key, choose a model, and complete your first Moxus AI request.

This guide walks you from account setup to your first successful model call.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create and sign in to your account">
    Go to `https://moxus.ai` and register with email verification or an enabled third-party login provider.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare quota">
    Confirm that your account has usable quota through a trial grant, top-up, or redemption code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an API key">
    Create an API key that starts with `sk-`, and optionally set quota, expiration, model scope, or IP restrictions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Open the model catalog and copy the exact model name, such as `gpt-4o`, `deepseek-chat`, or `gemini-2.5-pro`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send your first request">
    Use cURL, an SDK, or the Playground, then confirm the request in usage logs.
  </Step>
