AI Model Guide

Not sure which LLM to use? Tell us your task — we compare DeepSeek / GLM / Qwen / Kimi / MiniMax prices and capabilities in real time and recommend the best value.

Prices are fetched live from our self-built OpenAI-compatible gateway (public pricing API) — not a static rate card. Supports peak/off-peak savings tips: the same model costs less during off-peak hours.

Why Trust This Guide

Real-time Pricing, Not Static

Prices are read directly from the gateway's live pricing: when upstream peak/off-peak rates change, recommendations update instantly. Off-peak hours show "better value" automatically. View live pricing

Match Model to Task, Not Params

Translation doesn't need a flagship model; agent tasks need strong tool-calling. The guide narrows candidates by task type first, then sorts by current price — no overkill.

Free to Start, Zero Barrier

3 official free models (GLM-4-Flash / GLM-4.7-Flash / Qwen2.5-7B) — just enter your email to get a Key. Plus 20 free DeepSeek-V4 trial calls. Start free, upgrade anytime.

FAQ

How are recommendations calculated?

We narrow candidate models by task type (based on each model's official capability positioning), then sort by the gateway's current live price. "Savings %" is relative to the most expensive model in that task pool. All prices are in USD / per 1M tokens (converted from CNY at approximately 7.2 CNY = 1 USD).

Can I use the recommended models right away?

Yes. After getting your API Key, all recommended models are available via https://yingsuan.top/v1 (OpenAI-compatible) — same Key, same interface.

What is peak/off-peak pricing?

Upstream models cost more during peak hours (Beijing Time 09:00-12:00, 14:00-18:00). We pass through costs in real time; off-peak hours offer the same models at lower prices. The guide shows the next price switch time — non-urgent tasks can be scheduled for off-peak.

What can I do with the free tier?

Great for learning, testing, and light daily tasks. Free models are provided by upstream providers at no cost — no credit card needed. Upgrade to pay-as-you-go anytime for more powerful models.
