Vendor hub
Every model below is reachable with one ChinaAPI key and one OpenAI-compatible base URL. The same key works for every vendor in the catalog, so adding a model is a configuration change rather than a new account.
Availability
Chinese model providers run their own developer consoles, but registration, invoicing and identity verification are built for mainland-China entities and phone numbers. Developers outside that boundary frequently cannot finish sign-up at all, whatever the model can do.
ChinaAPI puts these models behind one gateway account, so the open questions become price and payload shape instead of eligibility. This page states what is available and what it costs; it makes no quality or ranking claim, because no published benchmark evidence supports one yet.

Catalog
Rows are generated from the ChinaAPI catalog, not typed by hand. Follow a model link for the full specification, request payload and localized pricing.
| Model | Family | Task type | Context | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mimo-v2.5 | Xiaomi | Text and image input | 1M | $0.14/M input, $0.28/M output tokens |

Token prices are shown as input and output per one million tokens. Media prices are shown per published billing unit.
Token-model rates are synchronized from the gateway and may follow providers' official China list prices where configured. Live pricing is authoritative.
The displayed media rate may include a service margin covering provider input/output billing, payment processing, chargeback exposure, and operations. Any margin is included in the displayed rate and is not added separately.
Price notes
The catalog records a caveat for the models below. The rate in the table is the current published rate, not a permanent one; check live pricing before you depend on it.
Limited-time free upstream pricing; check live pricing before production rollout.
Quickstart
Swap the model identifier for any row in the table above. Nothing else in the request changes between vendors.
Store the key in an environment variable and keep it out of source control.

Same key, same base URL, a different vendor catalog.
