GPTokens

Chinese LLM API guide

Chinese LLM API access without managing every provider account

GPTokens gives global developers one OpenAI-compatible API key for testing Chinese LLM models, comparing benchmark signals, and routing production workloads.

Buyer problem

What GPTokens solves

Access friction

Provider-specific signup, language, region, and payment flows slow down teams that simply need to test Chinese LLM routes.

Model comparison

GPTokens puts DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, and MiMo candidates behind one model directory and benchmark framework.

Production operations

One workspace, balance, API key pattern, usage view, and OpenAI-compatible endpoint reduce operational overhead.

Provider guide

Chinese LLM providers covered in the first SEO release

DeepSeek API gateway

DeepSeek API

GPTokens gives global developers a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint for DeepSeek routes, workspace billing, usage tracking, and model switching.

Qwen API gateway

Qwen API

GPTokens makes Qwen API testing practical for global teams that want strong structured output, tool calling, and affordable production experiments.

Doubao API

GPTokens gives global teams a practical path to test Doubao alongside DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, and MiMo without managing every provider account separately.

Moonshot API access

Moonshot API

GPTokens helps teams test Moonshot and Kimi-family routes next to other Chinese LLM providers using one billing account and one API integration pattern.

Zhipu GLM API

Zhipu GLM API

GPTokens makes GLM routes easier to test for global developers by combining OpenAI-compatible access, one workspace, and benchmark-backed model pages.

BenchLocal V3.2 · Original 27 models: 2 October 2026; three full-suite supplements: 15 October 2026 · 60 tasks per model. Total = mean of the four category scores. The original models retain 45 V3 tasks and 15 revised tool tasks; the three additional model IDs each completed all 60 identical tasks. Near-ceiling scores do not establish general capability; V3 scores are not directly comparable. CPS = Cost per Score; shown as USD per 100 score points: retained execution cost ÷ unrounded total score × 100. Free models are shown at $0. Paid-model costs are historical charges, excluding failed requests and discarded retests.

OpenAI-compatible request

Use GPTokens with existing SDKs

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.GPTOKENS_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://gptokens.ai/v1"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "deepseek-v4-pro",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Compare Chinese LLM routes for my task." }]
});

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.

Should I hard-code model names?

Use the model pages for planning, then call /v1/models before production. Availability, routing, context windows, and price can change as providers update models.
