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.

FAQ
Questions developers ask before buying Chinese LLM tokens
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.
