OpenAI API

Chinese alternatives to the OpenAI API

A developer-first landing page for teams comparing Chinese LLM APIs, pricing and access paths against OpenAI.

Quick answers

At a glance

Best first check
DeepSeek is the first API check for most teams. Qwen and Kimi follow when you need broader ecosystem coverage or a different model mix.
Migration note
The lowest-friction migration usually starts with base URL, auth and model name mapping. Verify tool/function calling and rate limits next.
Caveat
OpenAI API parity is not guaranteed. Treat this page as a routing guide, not a compatibility certificate.

What to compare

API clarity

Favor products with public API docs, a visible pricing path and enough source evidence to verify access.

Cost signal

Use the published pricing path as a first signal, then verify tokens, quotas and billing in practice.

Compatibility

Treat OpenAI-compatible claims as a migration aid, not as proof that every feature is interchangeable.

Chinese candidates

DeepSeek API

deepseek-v4-api

It is the main first check for teams that want a low-cost, developer-facing API path.

Qwen Cloud Token Plan

qwen-cloud-token-plan

It is useful when you want to compare a broader Alibaba model ecosystem and token-based access.

Kimi K2 API

kimi-k2-api

It gives another API path to check when model mix and product-level integration both matter.

How to use this page
