Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built AIWave because I kept running into the same frustration: China's AI models (DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi) are incredibly powerful and affordable, but accessing them from outside China is a nightmare — you need a Chinese phone number, local payment methods, and often a VPN. So I created AIWave — one OpenAI-compatible API that gives you access to 45+ Chinese AI models. No registration barriers, no VPN. Just swap your base URL and use your existing OpenAI SDK. Some highlights: • 45+ models from DeepSeek, Qwen, Alibaba (Qwen), Zhipu (GLM), Moonshot (Kimi), MiniMax, and more • Prices up to 90% cheaper than OpenAI • $5 free credits on signup • Singapore servers for low latency Happy to answer any questions! What Chinese AI models are you most interested in trying?

Finally, a way to try Qwen and Kimi without jumping through hoops. Swapped the base URL on an existing script and it just worked, plus the latency from Singapore feels surprisingly snappy for my side project.

 Thanks so much! 🙌 Glad the base URL swap was smooth — that was the #1 thing we optimized for. Singapore routing has been a game changer for latency from outside China. If you run into any issues or have model requests, drop a note in our Discord (link in bio). We're shipping fast.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the founder of AIWave.

Chinese AI models are incredible — DeepSeek V4, Qwen 3, GLM-5, Kimi K2 — but 90% of global developers can't access them. Chinese phone numbers, Alipay-only payments, and VPN walls keep them locked away.

AIWave fixes that. One OpenAI-compatible API. 45+ models. PayPal & credit card. GitHub login. Swap your base URL and you're done.

Why now? These models are no longer "catching up." DeepSeek V4 rivals GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost. Qwen 3 supports 119 languages. The price-performance gap is real and growing.
