How to Access 50+ Chinese AI Models Through One API
The Chinese AI ecosystem exploded in 2025-2026. DeepSeek dropped training costs by an order of magnitude. Qwen 3 ships 19 variants from 0.6B to 235B parameters. GLM-5 competes head-to-head with GPT-5 at 3% of the price. There's Kylin, Yi-Lightning, Hunyuan-T1, MiniMax-M1, Step-2-16K, and 40+ more models from a dozen labs.
The models are incredible. The fragmentation is not.
Every lab has its own API. Different auth headers. Different response formats. Different streaming protocols. Different error codes. If you wanted to try 5 models from 5 Chinese labs last year, you'd need 5 SDKs and 5 billing dashboards. Nobody has time for that.
This is exactly the problem AIWave was built to solve.
