🚨 The Problem: India's +86 Wall
DeepSeek's official platform requires a Chinese (+86) mobile number. Indian (+91) numbers are rejected. Virtual SMS services are blocked. Even if you could register, topping up requires a Chinese bank card or Alipay — unusable from India.
The result: Indian startups and enterprises are paying inflated prices for US models while China's best AI — DeepSeek V4 Flash (matching GPT-4o on MMLU-Pro, MATH-500, GPQA Diamond at 97% less cost), Qwen-Max, GLM-4 — remains inaccessible.
💡 The Solution: One API Key
AI Nexus (tokencnn.com) is an API gateway giving Indian developers access to 100+ Chinese AI models through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Sign up with just your email. Pay with your international credit card or crypto. No +86 phone. No VPN. No Chinese payment method.

💰 Price Comparison
Chinese AI models cost 1/10th to 1/60th of GPT-4o. At Indian scale, the savings are enormous.
| Model | Input / 1M tokens | Output / 1M tokens | vs GPT-4o |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | $0.35 | $1.10 | ~97% cheaper |
| Qwen-Plus | $0.12 | $0.40 | ~99% cheaper |
| Qwen-Max | $0.80 | $2.40 | ~92% cheaper |
| GLM-4-Flash | Free | Free | 100% free |
| GPT-4o | $10.00 | $30.00 | — |
💸 Real-World Example
Processing 10M tokens/day with DeepSeek V4 Flash: ~$3.50/day. Same workload on GPT-4o: $100/day. That's ₹2.5 lakh vs ₹8,500 per month in savings.
🚀 Quick Start
If you already use the OpenAI SDK, just change the base_url and api_key:
from openai import OpenAI
import os
client = OpenAI(
api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://www.tokencnn.com/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v4-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Namaste! What Chinese AI models are available?"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
Three lines. No VPN, no Chinese phone number, no special SDK. Just change the base_url.
cURL
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d '{
"model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Mumbai!"}]
}'
