A few things I’m trying to figure out:

Which Chinese LLM is currently strongest for coding (debugging, generation, reasoning over codebases)?

How does it compare to tools like GPT or Claude for dev work?

What’s the easiest way to access it — API, OpenRouter, local setup, etc.?

Are there any free or low-cost options that are actually usable?

Any setup tips (IDE integrations, latency, rate limits, etc.)?

Trying to rebuild a practical dev workflow post-GHCP, so real-world experiences would really help.
