Premium Chinese AI Models

Enterprise-grade models from China's top AI labs, accessible through a unified OpenAI-compatible API.

Q

Qwen3.8 (阿里千问)

Flagship 3.8-Max · Aug 2026

Alibaba's 2026 flagship line. Qwen3.8-Max (~2.4T-class) targets coding, work, and long-horizon tasks. Production stacks still use Qwen-Max / Plus / 3.5-era endpoints where available. Not a Seedance-style video generator — see the Model Watch brief for VL name hygiene.

DeepSeek-V4 (深度求索)

V4 Pro · Open Weights

DeepSeek's 2026 flagship family: V4-Pro (~1.6T MoE / 49B active, 1M context) for agentic coding & reasoning; V4-Flash for cheap high-volume. Legacy R1 remains useful for pure reasoning workloads.

GLM-5.2 (智谱 Zhipu / Z.ai)

Flagship · Open Weights

Zhipu's current flagship (released mid-2026). Built for long-horizon coding & agents with a solid 1M-token context. Open weights (MIT) for local deploy; also available via OpenAI-compatible API on ChinaModelAPI. Strong SWE / multi-step tool use; widely used as a cost-efficient frontier alternative.

K

Kimi K3 (月之暗面 Moonshot)

Frontier · 2.8T-class

Moonshot's latest flagship (July 2026). ~2.8T parameters, 1M-token context, native vision — positioned as an open 3T-class model for long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and agents. Use K3 for frontier long-context; keep K2.x for lighter/cost-sensitive loads.

Seedance (字节跳动)

Video Gen 2.5 launched 07-31

Seedance 2.0 is the ChinaModelAPI production default (multimodal text/image/audio/video). Seedance 2.5 was officially launched 2026-07-31 by ByteDance Seed (~30s single-pass, ~50 multimodal refs); Dreamina live — relay model ID pending.

MiniMax H3 (Hailuo)

Video Gen Open weights

MiniMax's general-purpose multimodal video model (not the M3 text LLM): native stereo audio, up to ~15s / 2K on hosted paths, Hugging Face weights + ComfyUI. Community often compares quality to Seedance — not an official “open Kling” product name. Relay model ID pending health-check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about accessing Chinese AI models.

What is ChinaModelAPI?
ChinaModelAPI is a unified API gateway specializing exclusively in Chinese AI models. We provide access to Qwen, DeepSeek, Zhipu GLM-5.2, Moonshot Kimi K3, HappyHorse (快乐马) by Alibaba, and Seedance 2.0 by ByteDance — through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with enterprise-grade pricing and USDT payment support.
How to access Qwen and DeepSeek API from outside China?
ChinaModelAPI provides global access to Qwen and DeepSeek through a standard OpenAI-compatible API. Simply sign up, get your API key, and change the base URL in your existing OpenAI SDK to https://api.chinamodelapi.com/v1. No special configuration or Chinese payment methods needed — we accept USDT stablecoins worldwide.
What Chinese AI models are available?
We offer access to leading Chinese AI models: Alibaba Qwen (Qwen3.8-Max-Preview, Qwen-Max, Qwen-Plus) for text and chat; DeepSeek (V3.2, R1, Chat) for reasoning and code; Zhipu GLM-5.2 (long-horizon coding/agents, 1M context, open weights) + GLM-5.1 tier; Moonshot Kimi K3 (2.8T-class, 1M context, native vision) + K2.x family; HappyHorse (快乐马) video gen; and ByteDance Seedance 2.0 multimodal video. See guides: GLM API · Kimi API.
Why use a specialized Chinese AI model platform?
General-purpose API aggregators cover hundreds of models but treat Chinese AI as one category among many. We specialize 100% in Chinese AI models, which means deeper coverage, direct enterprise agreements with providers, and dedicated expertise in the Chinese AI ecosystem.
Can I pay with USDT or cryptocurrency?
Yes, we accept USDT stablecoin payments. No credit card or traditional banking required. Purchase token credits with stablecoins and use them across all available Chinese AI models. Token balances never expire.
How does the pricing work?
We offer four token plans: Starter at $9.9, Pro at $99, Business at $999, and Enterprise at $9,999. Because we specialize in Chinese models with direct enterprise agreements with providers like Alibaba (Qwen) and DeepSeek, we pass through aggressive pricing — up to 60% off official rates.
Is the API compatible with OpenAI SDK?
Yes, fully OpenAI-compatible. Use the official OpenAI Python, Node.js, or any OpenAI-compatible SDK — just change the base_url to our endpoint. All chat completions, streaming, function calling, and other features work identically.
How does DeepSeek-V4 compare to GPT-5.6 Sol & Claude Opus 5?
DeepSeek's 2026 flagship is DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T MoE / 49B active, 1M context) with a cheaper V4-Flash tier — open-weight, OpenAI-compatible, and built for agentic coding at a fraction of GPT-5.6 Sol / Claude Opus 5 list pricing. Legacy DeepSeek-R1 remains useful for pure reasoning. See DeepSeek API guide and R1 guide.
What is the difference between Qwen-Max and Qwen-Plus?
Qwen-Max is Alibaba's highest-performance model — best for complex reasoning, long-context tasks (up to 1M tokens), and demanding enterprise workloads. Qwen-Plus is a balanced mid-tier model offering strong performance at lower cost, suitable for most chat and analysis tasks. Qwen3.8 is the latest generation, and Qwen-2.5 remains widely used for stable production deployments.
What is Zhipu GLM-5.2 and which GLM models are available?
GLM-5.2 is Zhipu AI / Z.ai's current flagship (mid-2026), optimized for long-horizon coding and agent tasks with a 1M-token context. Weights are openly available (MIT) for self-hosting; via ChinaModelAPI use OpenAI-compatible IDs such as glm-5.2 and glm-5.1 (confirm live aliases in the dashboard). It is frequently cited for software engineering loops and as a cost-efficient frontier open model. Guide: GLM-5.2 API.
What is Moonshot Kimi K3 and when should I use it?
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's (月之暗面) July 2026 flagship — about 2.8 trillion parameters, 1M-token context, and native vision — aimed at frontier long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and multi-agent workflows. API ID typically kimi-k3; earlier family members include K2.7 Code / K2.x for lighter loads. Prefer K3 when you need max long-context + agent quality; use cheaper models for short chat. Guide: Kimi K3 API.
What is HappyHorse (快乐马) and how does it work?
HappyHorse (快乐马) is Alibaba's AI video generation model, part of the Wanxiang (万象) multimodal platform. It supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation, producing cinematic-quality clips suitable for content creation, marketing, and studio production workflows. HappyHorse is not a language model — it is specifically designed for high-quality video output. Available model version: happyhorse-1.0. See the full HappyHorse API guide for integration details.
What is Seedance 2.0 and how is it different from other video models?
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's flagship multimodal video generation model, released in February 2026. Unlike single-input video models, Seedance 2.0 accepts text, images, audio, and existing video as input — enabling complex creative workflows like video-to-video transformation and audio-driven animation. It is designed for professional content creators, studios, and enterprise media pipelines. Model ID: seedance-2.0. See the full Seedance 2.0 API guide for code examples.
Can I use Chinese AI models for video generation via API?
Yes. ChinaModelAPI provides API access to HappyHorse (快乐马) — Alibaba's video generation model on the Wanxiang (万象) platform, supporting text-to-video and image-to-video with cinematic-quality output — and ByteDance Seedance 2.0 — a flagship multimodal video generation model that accepts text, images, audio, and video as input, released in February 2026. Both are not widely available on general-purpose API platforms. Video generation access requires the Pro plan ($99) or higher. See dedicated guides: HappyHorse API · Seedance 2.0 API.
