China-family models
Call GLM / Kimi / DeepSeek / Qwen with the same QCode.cc cr_ key: protocol path, live ids, curl check, and how they sit next to Claude 5
China-family models¶
QCode.cc is not only Claude / GPT / Gemini. The same cr_ key also reaches Zhipu GLM, Moonshot Kimi, DeepSeek and Qwen. This page is only “how to hit these ids”, not a bake-off and not marketing.
The daily default is still the Claude 5 line (see Model Selection). Use the China-family tier for Chinese long-form work, cheaper bulk jobs, or a side-by-side check against Claude. Do not type a name that is missing from qcode.cc/models.
What is on sale¶
Ids below were extracted from dev.qcode.cc/models on 2026-08-16 (positive control: the set contains claude-sonnet-5). Prices are the input / output rates per million tokens on that page at the time. Treat qcode.cc/models as live.
| Family | Flagship id | Lighter sibling | Flagship snapshot (in / out) | Flagship context / out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zhipu GLM | glm-5.2 |
glm-5.1 |
$1.40 / $4.40 | 200K / 131K |
| Moonshot Kimi | kimi-k3 |
kimi-k2.6 |
$3.00 / $15.00 | 1M / 131K |
| DeepSeek | deepseek-v4-pro |
deepseek-v4-flash |
$0.43 / $0.87 | 1M / 384K |
| Qwen | qwen3.7-max |
qwen3.7-plus |
$2.50 / $7.50 | 1M / 131K |
Lighter-tier snapshot: kimi-k2.6 $0.95 / $3.96; deepseek-v4-flash $0.14 / $0.28; qwen3.7-plus $0.40 / $1.60. glm-5.1 matched glm-5.2 in/out that day, with a smaller window (81K).
No grok. Live list: qcode.cc/models or GET https://api.qcode.cc/v1/models with your key.
Which protocol¶
The path selects the protocol; the key does not care which family you call. Rules: Endpoints & API Formats.
| Tool | What to fill | Model field |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI SDK / LangChain / Cline “OpenAI Compatible” / WorkBuddy | https://api.qcode.cc/openai/v1 (in CN prefer https://asia.qcode.cc/openai/v1) |
An id from the table, character-for-character |
| Claude Code (already pointed at QCode per Environment) | Leave ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL alone |
/model glm-5.2 in the session (same pattern as /model gpt-5.6-terra) |
| Raw HTTP | POST /openai/v1/chat/completions |
JSON "model" |
Do not send these ids to the Gemini /gemini prefix. Do not put https://api.qcode.cc/api into an OpenAI-compatible client (that prefix is Anthropic Messages).
Non-Claude models in Claude Code may lack native extras such as Extended Thinking — Model Selection already says the same for GPT. Treat them as a complement, not a new daily default, if you are unsure.
curl check¶
Same reading as the endpoints page: 400 = path and key reached the gateway (empty body expected), 401 = bad key, 404 = wrong prefix.
KEY="cr_你的密钥"
# 只验路径
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' -X POST https://api.qcode.cc/openai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
# 带一个在售国产 id 做端到端(把 glm-5.2 换成你要用的 id)
curl -sS https://api.qcode.cc/openai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"glm-5.2","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"ping"}]}'
In mainland China, repeat with host asia.qcode.cc. One key on all four domains.
Reference OpenAI Python client (base_url stops at /openai/v1, no trailing slash):
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="cr_你的密钥",
base_url="https://api.qcode.cc/openai/v1",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="glm-5.2",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "ping"}],
)
Next to Claude 5¶
| Job | Start with | When to add a China-family id |
|---|---|---|
| Daily code edits | claude-sonnet-5 |
A comparison run, or deepseek-v4-pro / glm-5.2 if budget is tight |
| Hard reasoning / large refactors | claude-opus-5 |
Optional; try kimi-k3 / qwen3.7-max to save |
| Chinese long-form, notes, office | any flagship | kimi-k3, glm-5.2, qwen3.7-max are common |
| Bulk / chores | claude-haiku-4-5 |
deepseek-v4-flash / qwen3.7-plus were cheaper that day |
4.x (claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-8) is still on sale; it is just no longer the default. Rates and windows: qcode.cc/models. When this page was written, claude-sonnet-5 input was cheaper than claude-sonnet-4-6.
Same key on the desktop: WorkBuddy. Switching Claude Code / Codex: CC Switch Setup.
FAQ¶
I filled the name and get 404 / an empty picker¶
The id must look like glm-5.2, not “GLM-5.2” or a display label. OpenAI-compatible pickers are often empty — type it.
401¶
Key starts with cr_, no spaces. Check qcode.cc/dashboard.
Can I hit GLM on Anthropic /api/v1/messages?¶
The gateway picks the protocol from the path. /openai/v1/chat/completions is the path this site has verified for OpenAI-compatible clients. If Claude Code already points at QCode, switch with /model <id>; do not hand-roll Messages just to reach a China-family id.
WorkBuddy / Cline¶
WorkBuddy: provider Custom, endpoint https://api.qcode.cc/openai/v1, model name = an id from the table. Steps: WorkBuddy Integration. Cline “OpenAI Compatible” uses the same Base URL and Model ID.
