I'm sharing a project we've been working on: HefuAI.
As more developers start building with AI, one challenge keeps coming up: working with different AI providers often means managing separate APIs, integrations, and usage costs.
We're building HefuAI to make that process simpler.
As AI applications become more sophisticated, developers often need to work with multiple models for different tasks coding, reasoning, content generation, and more.
But managing multiple providers can introduce some practical challenges:
Different API keys and endpoint configurations
Different request formats and model parameters
Switching providers when a model is unavailable
Tracking usage and understanding the actual cost
Maintaining integrations as models and providers change
I'm interested in how other developers approach this.
HeFu is an AI API gateway that gives you one OpenAI-compatible key for every major model — GPT, Claude, Gemini, plus first-class access to Chinese models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax) that normally require a Chinese phone number and local billing.
