OpenAI to Terminate API Services in China

Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen announces a migration plan for OpenAI users, and Baidu's flagship model Wenxin becomes free for the first time.

OpenAI will stop supporting APIs in certain countries starting July 9. Users in multiple countries suddenly faced API usage bans, and even some users in whitelisted countries were mistakenly banned. With OpenAI's deactivation, domestic large model providers seized the opportunity, offering discounts and "migration" services to attract users.
