About ChinaModelAPI

ChinaModelAPI is an independent, developer-run project with one mission: make China's best AI models usable by developers anywhere through a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.

What we do

  • Unified access: Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, HappyHorse, Seedance and more, behind one API key with OpenAI SDK compatibility.
  • Payments without borders: USDT top-up, so global teams can pay without Chinese banking.
  • Daily model intelligence: we monitor official Chinese vendor channels and publish dated news briefs and pricing updates — ChinaModelAPI News.
  • Open data: we maintain a community-sourced price tracker at github.com/JinHanAI/china-llm-api-pricing, with a source link on every number.

Who is behind it

ChinaModelAPI is built and maintained by a small independent team of developers who use Chinese AI models daily in real production workloads. We started the project after hitting the same wall ourselves: great models, painful access. Every guide on this site reflects hands-on use, and every price we publish is verified against official vendor documentation.

The service is currently in early access. Model availability and pricing are documented honestly on each guide page — including what is live today and what is still pending health-checks.

Editorial standards

  • Prices and launch claims are sourced — official docs first, dated aggregator snapshots second.
  • When a number cannot be verified, we mark it as unverified rather than guess.
  • Relay status (which model IDs are live) is stated as-is, per model page.
