qoder.com for me, kimi.com for me, other than that, rest of links pass. Thank you very much!
Yeah and this from Africa. China has actually had quite alot to do my country, including being the providers of the only road that hasnt had a single pothole in the past 10 years 🤣 meanwhile my government puts speedbumps on a highway... (true story, search it up, Namibia B1 speedbumps)
I'll definitely look into all of these, thank you very much. Cuz I am honestly sick and tired of how expensive AI has gotten and how pathetic western models and IDEs are at completing a full task. Case in point, a manufacturing system, standard BOM and WO, I spend 3 hours troubleshooting why Claude Fable (the golden child apparently), decided to mess why my formulas. Cuz I run under the assumption I missed something, so I have to validate why it made the choice and whether I was wrong... I wasnt, it just falls apart at anything more complex than 'make me a cyberpunk landing page for my website'...

🤣 Bet!
Alright, I'll share what I know. Here's a list of Chinese cloud AI platforms — whether you can access them depends on your network:
Alibaba Cloud — Qwen / Tongyi: tongyi.aliyun.com/
Qoder (the one you mentioned): qoder.cloud/
Baidu — ERNIE Bot: yiyan.baidu.com/
Tencent Cloud — Hunyuan: cloud.tencent.com/product/hunyuan
ByteDance Volcano Engine — Doubao: volcengine.com/product/doubao
Huawei Cloud — Pangu: huaweicloud.com/product/pangu.html
DeepSeek: platform.deepseek.com/
Moonshot AI — Kimi: kimi.moonshot.cn/
Zhipu AI — GLM / ChatGLM: open.bigmodel.cn/
01.AI — Yi: lingyiwanwu.com/
Baichuan AI: baichuan-ai.com/
iFlytek — Spark: xinghuo.xfyun.cn/
MiniMax: minimaxi.com/
SiliconFlow (unified API): cloud.siliconflow.cn/
Hope your network holds up. Take your time exploring the free tiers. I used to think the Western internet was all about "freedom" — guess it's not quite what they advertise, huh 😏

Here's an updated list — added the ones I missed, including international URLs that might be more accessible:
Already works for you:
• Qoder: qoder.cloud/ ✅
• Kimi (Moonshot AI): kimi.moonshot.cn/ ✅
Global-friendly / should work:

• Alibaba Cloud Model Studio (Qwen): alibabacloud.com/product/model-studio
• Zhipu AI (GLM / ChatGLM): open.bigmodel.cn/
• MiniMax: minimaxi.com/
• 01.AI (Yi): lingyiwanwu.com/
May need a workaround (your network situation varies):
• Baidu ERNIE Bot: yiyan.baidu.com/

Most of these have free tiers that'll give you more tokens than Claude's entire paid plan 😂 Happy exploring!
Thank you very much! I will definitely be exploring them all and testing them out!
