How to Access 49 Chinese AI Models with One API

Chinese AI labs are shipping incredible models — DeepSeek V4, Kimi K3, Qwen 3.7, Doubao, GLM 5.2 — often at a fraction of the cost of Western alternatives. But for developers outside China, accessing them is a nightmare: separate API keys, CNY pricing, region blocks.

I built Express API to solve this: a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint for 49 Chinese models.

The Problem

To use Chinese AI models from overseas, you typically need:

• A separate account on each platform (DeepSeek, Moonshot/Kimi, Alibaba Cloud, Volcengine, Zhipu...)
• Chinese phone number verification for some
• CNY payment methods
• Different API formats for different vendors

The Solution

One API key, one endpoint, USD billing:

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  baseURL: "https://gptapi.net.cn/v1"
});

// Works with ANY model from 10 vendors
client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "kimi-k3",  // or deepseek-v4-pro, qwen3.7-max...
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
});
