A new guide details how developers can access Chinese large language models like Qwen, DeepSeek, and GLM from outside China, bypassing common issues such as high latency and regional access restrictions. The solution involves using a unified, OpenAI-compatible gateway service, such as TideLink, which handles regional routing and failover. This approach allows users to maintain a single API key and request format while accessing a variety of models, with specific recommendations for Qwen 3 for general tasks, DeepSeek-R1 for reasoning, and GLM-4 for long Chinese documents.
