One API Key for 45 Chinese AI Models: No Chinese Phone Number Required

Before I found ModelHub, accessing Chinese AI models was painful.

You needed a Chinese phone number. Then WeChat. Then Alipay. Then someone to help you navigate the Chinese app ecosystem.

The Problem

I wanted to try DeepSeek R1. It was scoring 91 on the Arena leaderboard and cost a fraction of GPT-5.5. But I couldn't even sign up.

The Solution

I built ModelHub. One API gateway for 45+ Chinese AI models. OpenAI-compatible SDK. International payment.

What You Get

• DeepSeek V4 Flash: $0.15/M tokens (vs GPT-5.5 at $5.00)
• DeepSeek R1: $0.55/M tokens - scored 91 on Arena
• Qwen 3: $0.10/M tokens
• GLM-4: $0.20/M tokens
• Kimi: 128K context window

Pricing

• Starter: $15/mo (60M tokens)
• Pro: $65/mo (280M tokens)
• $5 free credit to test, no credit card

How It Works

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="mh-sk-...",
    base_url="https://modelhub-api.com/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

Same SDK, different endpoint. That's it.
