Announcement: AIWave now covers 9 Chinese AI provider families

AIWave's live catalog now returns 63 model records across:

• DeepSeek
• GLM/Zhipu
• Kimi/Moonshot
• ERNIE/Baidu
• MiniMAX
• Qwen/Alibaba
• Doubao/ByteDance
• StepFun
• Xiaomi MiMo

New routes include MiniMax M3, Qwen3.8, versioned Doubao Seed routes, StepFun Flash routes, and xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro.

The developer-facing value is one OpenAI-compatible endpoint and one USD operational boundary. Keep the client contract stable, pin the exact model ID, and compare a fixed acceptance set before switching production traffic.

Live verification:

• Catalog and gateway metadata: https://aiwave.live/api/pricing
• Dated rate reference: https://aiwave.live/pricing
• Model directory: https://aiwave.live/models/

The API exposes gateway ratios; it does not justify inventing a USD conversion. The dated AIWave page contains directly stated USD rows for the StepFun routes, including cache-hit input. Please share which model family you are evaluating and what workload you want to benchmark.

Publication self-check: concrete developer value, durable model IDs and accounting workflow, differentiated gateway positioning, and no universal or price-war claim.
