chatanywhere/GPT_API_free

What it solves

It provides a unified, accessible gateway to multiple frontier AI models (such as GPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, and Qwen) for users who may face connectivity issues or high costs when accessing official APIs directly, particularly in mainland China.

How it works

The project acts as an API forwarding service. Users replace the official API host (e.g., api.openai.com) with the project's forwarding hosts (api.chatanywhere.tech or api.chatanywhere.org). It uses a unified OpenAI-standard protocol, meaning users only need to change the model name to switch between different providers.

Who it’s for

• Individual users, students, and non-profit researchers seeking free or low-cost access to LLMs.
• Developers who want a single API interface to manage multiple AI models without needing separate accounts or complex proxy setups.

Highlights

• Multi-Model Support: Access to a wide array of models including GPT-5, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, Kimi, and GLM.
• Connectivity: Optimized for domestic use in China with dynamic acceleration, removing the need for a VPN/proxy.
• Free Tier: Offers a daily free quota (10,000 points) for personal, non-commercial use.
• Standardized API: Fully compatible with official OpenAI interface standards, making it easy to integrate into existing software and plugins.
• Privacy Focused: Claims not to collect, record, or store user input or server responses.
