Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Why use Chinese AI models?

Chinese AI models like DeepSeek, Qwen, and GLM offer exceptional value with prices up to 97-99% cheaper than GPT-5.5. DeepSeek V4 Flash provides GPT-5.5-class quality at a fraction of the cost. Qwen models excel at multilingual tasks across 100+ languages, while GLM is optimized for Chinese language tasks.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept USD payments via Stripe (credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and PayPal. No need for WeChat Pay, Alipay, or Chinese bank accounts. All payments are processed securely.

How is SIB AI different from OpenRouter?

Unlike OpenRouter which aggregates models from multiple providers globally, we specialize exclusively in China's top AI models. This means deeper optimization, lower latency to Chinese model endpoints, and better pricing for Chinese AI models specifically.

Is this a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's API?

Yes! Our API is fully compatible with the OpenAI API format. You can switch by just changing the base URL to https://api.sib-ai.com/v1 and using your SIB AI key. No code changes required for most use cases.

Which model should I choose?

V4 Flash and Qwen3.6-Turbo are best for everyday tasks with the lowest cost. V3.2 and Qwen3.6-Plus offer balanced performance for general use. R1 is optimized for complex reasoning tasks like math and code generation. GLM-5.1-Flash is ideal for Chinese content generation.

How fast are the API responses?

Average first token latency is under 500ms. Qwen3.6-Turbo and V4 Flash are optimized for speed, while R1 may take longer due to its reasoning process. We use globally distributed servers to ensure low latency regardless of your location.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! New accounts get $5 in free credits to test our API. This is valid for 7 days and gives you access to all models including DeepSeek, Qwen, and GLM. No credit card required.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Absolutely. Our Pro plan includes $40 in monthly credits and 20% off all model pricing. For enterprise customers with high-volume needs, we offer custom pricing with significant discounts.
