Production caveat

How to interpret the ranking

The benchmark uses repeatable local tasks for tool calling, instruction following, structured output, CLI behavior, Hermes-style agent execution, math reasoning, and data extraction. It is designed to reveal engineering-agent risk, not just chat quality.

Public benchmarks should shortlist models, not replace production testing. Before scaling, test latency, fallback behavior, refusal patterns, tool-call reliability, and cost per completed task.

Strong first tests

  • Qwen 3.7 Plus for structured output and extraction.
  • GLM 5.2 for first-tier structured output and tool calling.
  • DeepSeek v4 Pro for tool calling and agent-style workflows.
  • MiMo v2.5 Pro for first-tier portfolio comparison.

FAQ

Questions developers ask before buying Chinese LLM tokens

Is GPTokens run by a model provider?

No. GPTokens is an independent OpenAI-compatible gateway. It issues GPTokens API keys and routes requests to supported Chinese LLM providers through one account.

Can I use an OpenAI SDK?

Yes. Most integrations only need the GPTokens base URL, a GPTokens API key, and a supported model name from the live model list.

Who is this for?

GPTokens is built for developers and teams in the US, Europe, and other global markets that want to test Chinese LLM APIs without managing separate provider accounts, payment methods, and dashboards.
