## Match each current provider to the right pilot path.

### OpenAI API cost reduction

Evaluate where selected OpenAI workloads can be routed to qualified Chinese model families without forcing a full migration.

## The practical way to evaluate alternatives

The goal is not to replace every provider at once. The strongest pilots identify workloads with clear savings potential, measurable output quality, and low integration risk.

## Chinese model families available for evaluation.

GLM-5.2 GLM-5.1 Qwen3.7 DeepSeek-v4 Kimi k2.7 MiniMax 3.0 MiniMax 2.7 Qwen Image Wan Seedance 2.5 Hailuo-2.3 Kling-3.0

## Send the workload and expected usage.

Priority goes to teams with existing AI spend, expected monthly usage, or a concrete production or creative workflow.
