Introduction

Are you tired of dealing with various API key applications, model switching, and billing management? Ciyuano Token Circle provides an OpenAI-compatible API relay solution—just change two parameters, and let the platform handle the rest.

This article will guide you from registration to making your first AI conversation request in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Register an Account

Step 3: Write Code

Ciyuano is fully compatible with the OpenAI SDK:

python

from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://www.ciyuano.com/v1", api_key="sk-relay-your-key-here" ) response = client.chat.completions.create( model="deepseek-v4", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain what a Transformer is in one sentence"}], stream=True ) for chunk in response: if chunk.choices[0].delta.content: print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")

Run it and you'll immediately see the AI's streaming output! Which models are supported?

 | Model ID | Model Name | Use Case | |---------|----------|----------|

| deepseek-v4 | DeepSeek V4 | Reasoning, code, general conversation |

| glm-5 | GLM-5 | Chinese understanding, long text |

| qwen-plus | Qwen Plus | Cost-effective choice |

To switch models, just change the model parameter in one line.

Advanced: Auto-Routing

Set the model to auto, and the platform will automatically select the best available model.

Conclusion

Ciyuano saves you the hassle of applying for keys on multiple platforms, managing balances, and handling failover. One API key gives you access to all major domestic large models.
