Chinese AI Model Rankings

Compare the leading Chinese AI models available through ChinaAPI — ranked by context window, price, and capability. Token rates are synchronized from the gateway and may follow providers' official China list prices where configured. Media rows show transparent USD service rates; any service margin is included in the displayed rate.

Ranking basis: context length, USD price, and capability — from official model specifications. We do not publish proprietary usage rankings, popularity claims, market share, or benchmark scores. For independent quality benchmarks, see Artificial Analysis.

25Token-billed LLMs ranked by context and USD input price.
11LLMs with 1M context windows in the current model data.
23Image and video generation models listed separately with media billing.

By use case

Capability groups from model data.

Models can appear in more than one group. Within these compact tables, rows are ordered by larger context window first, then lower listed input price.

Best for Coding & Agents

LLMs whose descriptions or capabilities reference coding, agents, tools, engineering, planning, or office work.

What is the best Chinese AI model?

There is no single best model for every workload. This page ranks only objective ChinaAPI data: context window, official USD list price, and model capabilities. For independent quality benchmarks, use a third-party source such as Artificial Analysis.

Which models have the longest context?

The 1M-context LLMs in the current data are deepseek-v4-flash, mimo-v2.5, qwen3.6-flash, LongCat-2.0, qwen3.7-plus, MiniMax-M3, deepseek-v4-pro, mimo-v2.5-pro, glm-5.2, qwen3.7-max, kimi-k3.

Which models are cheapest?

Among token-billed LLMs, deepseek-v4-flash, mimo-v2.5, and hy3 share the lowest listed input price at $0.1389 per 1M input tokens. The next listed input price is qwen3.6-flash at $0.1667 per 1M input tokens.

Start testing

Use the rankings as a shortlist, then test your own workload.

Context length and price are objective filters. Final model choice should still come from your prompts, data, latency needs, acceptance criteria, and total cost per accepted result.
