🌉 For developers in mainland China

Claude API in China.
No VPN. Pay with WeChat.

Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.5 are some of the best coding and reasoning models available. Anthropic doesn't serve China directly, but AIPower routes Claude through Cloudflare global edge — accessible from inside China without a VPN, paid in WeChat Pay or Alipay.

3

Works from anywhere in China

Cloudflare global edge serves you. No VPN needed. Latency same as accessing from Hong Kong (~50ms typical).

Use Claude with OpenAI SDK

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.aipower.me/v1",
    api_key="sk-aipower-...",  # paid via WeChat Pay
)

# Claude Sonnet 4 — best for code
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python REST API with FastAPI"}
    ],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

# Or Claude Opus 4.5 — top-tier reasoning
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-opus",
    messages=[...],
)

Why not just use Anthropic directly?

You can if you have a non-Chinese billing address, a USD card, and a stable VPN. Most China-based devs don't.

🚫 Direct Anthropic from China

  • · VPN required (latency, instability)
  • · USD card required, China cards often declined
  • · No invoice support for CN companies
  • · Can't mix Claude + DeepSeek in one workflow

✅ Via AIPower

  • · No VPN — Cloudflare global edge
  • · WeChat Pay / Alipay / international card
  • · HK commercial receipt; CN fapiao on request
  • · Same key works for Claude + GPT + DeepSeek + Qwen
