⚠️ Never pre-pay large amounts. This industry has weekly rug-pulls. Top up ¥10 first, validate quality, then consider going up.


💚 Support this project

This repo is free, ad-free, and has no paid placement. If the leaderboard saved you from topping up a rug-pull, consider chipping in:

  • USDT (any EVM chain — ERC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Base / Optimism):

  • Star the repo — also helps a lot; boosts us in GitHub trending.
  • 📝 Open a PR with a gateway report — the most valuable contribution.

💡 Double-check the chain before sending. Sending from an exchange? Withdraw on ERC20 / BSC / Polygon / Arbitrum / Base / Optimism. Do NOT use TRC20 (TRON) — that address doesn't exist on Tron.

❓ FAQ

What exactly is an "AI API gateway" or "中转站"?

A third-party service that exposes Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and other frontier LLMs through a single OpenAI-compatible HTTP API. Most of them sit in front of the official providers and resell capacity, often at discounted prices, with friendlier payment options (WeChat/Alipay), or with extra features (rate-limit pooling, routing, logging, invoices).

How is this different from OpenRouter's /models page, helpaio.com, or apicompare.best?
  • OpenRouter only lists gateways running inside OpenRouter's own routing graph. We list every relay we can find, including the dozens of small CN players.
  • helpaio.com is a blog with human-written reviews. We publish machine-verified data (live /v1/models probes, engine fingerprints, uptime) alongside reviews.
  • apicompare.best compares prices. We compare reachability, authenticity, and stability — cheaper doesn't help if the gateway disappears next week.
How do you decide the leaderboard score?

We combine: reachability (HTTP 2xx), confirmed /v1/models endpoint, real-model count, model-keyword density on the landing page, latency, and 30-day uptime from our daily snapshots. The formula lives in scripts/generate_leaderboard.py — no black box.

Is this a paid directory? Who pays you to be listed?

No one. There is zero paid placement. Listings are either auto-discovered or PR'd by the community. The repo is MIT-licensed and ad-free. If the leaderboard helped you, consider supporting the project.

Can I trust the top-ranked gateways with large amounts of money?

No. This industry sees weekly rug-pulls. A high score means a gateway is currently reachable, has a real API, and has been stable for 30 days — not that it is solvent or will still be online next month. Always top up small amounts first (≤ US$2), validate model quality, and scale slowly.

I got scammed by a gateway. How do I report it?

Open a GitHub Discussion under the Reports category with public evidence (screenshots, transaction IDs, Telegram group links). Two independent reports + a 14-day operator response window = the gateway lands on data/blacklist.json.

How do I add my gateway?

Add the URL to data/candidates.txt, then (optionally) add a human-curated name, region, and verdict to data/sites.yaml. Open a PR. The daily cron will pick it up.

Do you support non-OpenAI-compatible APIs (raw Anthropic, raw Gemini)?

We primarily probe /v1/models (OpenAI-compatible), because it's the lingua franca. Gateways that only expose raw Anthropic or Gemini endpoints can still be listed via data/sites.yaml with a verdict: likely_relay override and a note explaining the protocol.

📝 Reviews

Deep-dive reviews and benchmark reports:


⚠️ Blacklist

Gateways that have been flagged for serious issues (rug-pulls, data leaks, fake models).

See blacklist.md for the current list and evidence archive.

If you've been affected, please open a GitHub Discussion with evidence. We review reports transparently.


🧪 Benchmark

We run periodic benchmarks testing:

  • Latency (TTFT, total response time)
  • Throughput (tokens/sec)
  • Reliability (uptime %)
  • Accuracy (model behavior matches official?)
  • Pricing consistency (quoted vs. billed)

See scripts/benchmark.py for the test harness. Results in data/benchmarks/.


🤝 Contributing

We welcome PRs from users, gateway operators, and researchers. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Quick ways to help:

  • ✏️ Update a gateway's pricing or model list
  • 📝 Submit a new gateway (use the template)
  • 🚨 Report a scam or outage
  • 🧪 Submit benchmark data
  • 🌐 Improve translations
