One API key to access them all
Use AI Token's unified gateway. It provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that routes to DeepSeek and 37+ other Chinese models. Just change base_url in your existing OpenAI SDK code โ no other changes needed. The gateway handles regional access, load balancing, and failover automatically.
DeepSeek V4 offers the best price-performance ratio at ยฅ0.13/M input tokens (~$0.018 USD), which is 99% cheaper than GPT-4o. For absolute lowest cost on simple tasks, Qwen3-32B at ยฅ0.13/M input and ยฅ0.52/M output is unbeatable.
DeepSeek V4 matches or exceeds GPT-4o on major benchmarks (MMLU 87.1, HumanEval 90.2). Qwen3.5 excels in Chinese language understanding. For most production use cases โ chatbots, code generation, content creation, translation โ these models deliver equivalent or better results.
Yes, 100%. The /v1/chat/completions, /v1/embeddings, and all other endpoints follow the OpenAI API specification exactly. Streaming, function calling, tool use, JSON mode โ everything works the same way. You can literally use the official OpenAI Python/Node.js SDK.
No. AI Token accepts international payment methods and provides API access globally. You only need an email address to register and start using the API immediately.
All models support English and Chinese. Most also support Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, and other major languages. Qwen3.5 and GLM-5 have particularly strong multilingual capabilities.
