OpenLuxChinese-optimized models
For products shipping to Chinese-speaking users — or bilingual apps serving both markets — these three models cover text, code and speech with native-level Chinese output, metered at OpenLux rates on the same endpoint as every Western model.
Chinese-optimized models are not a separate stack: on OpenLux they answer the same OpenAI-compatible requests as GPT and Claude, so a bilingual application can route Chinese traffic to DeepSeek or Qwen and English traffic to the GPT line without a second integration, second bill or second key to rotate.
The three models below are the catalogue pieces that carry the Chinese label: two text models with strong Chinese comprehension and reasoning, and a speech model with natural multilingual voices. All three are discounted against official list pricing.

Chinese-optimized models questions
Which OpenLux models are best for Chinese-language products?
DeepSeek V4 and Qwen3 Max for text, reasoning and code; Doubao Voice 2 for speech synthesis. DeepSeek leads on reasoning-style prompts while Qwen3 Max is a dependable all-rounder for prose and code.
Are Chinese models billed the same way as Western ones?
Yes. Text models are metered per 1M tokens in USD, Doubao Voice 2 per 1K characters, with the discount already applied to the published rate. Everything appears on the same invoice.
Can one application mix Chinese and Western models?
That is the point of the gateway: keep one OpenAI-compatible integration and route each request to the model that fits the language and difficulty. Switching tiers or providers is a one-field change.
How do these rates compare with official provider pricing?
DeepSeek V4 is listed at $0.0613 per 1M tokens (about -90% vs official rates), Qwen3 Max at $0.0784 (-88%) and Doubao Voice 2 at $0.014 per 1K characters — the discounted rates you are actually billed.
