Use your own prompts, data shape, expected outputs, and review criteria to measure cost per accepted result. ## Chinese AI model families your team can evaluate.

ChinaAPI can help qualified business teams evaluate DeepSeek API access depending on availability, use case, and expected volume. ## Is DeepSeek mainly for developers? Developer workflows are a strong use case, but teams can also evaluate RAG, support automation, and internal business tasks. ## How should we compare DeepSeek? Compare it with your current provider on the same task set, scoring output quality, retries, latency, and cost. ## What information helps qualification? Current provider, monthly spend, target workload, expected request volume, country, and production constraints. ## Send the workload and expected usage. Priority goes to teams with existing AI spend, expected monthly usage, or a concrete production or creative workflow.
