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.
Use case
Cheap LLM API alternatives with Chinese models
Cheap token pricing is only useful when the model solves the task. GPTokens helps compare Chinese LLM routes by quality and operational fit.
What to measure
Measure total cost per completed task, not just input and output token rates.
Good starting set
Test DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, and MiMo routes against the same prompts and validators.

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.
