This article walks through installing Codex, adding the open‑source CC Switch tool, and configuring Chinese large language models such as Kimi so they can serve as the backend for Codex’s AI agent, with step‑by‑step screenshots and performance examples.
The ccmr tool has been updated to support six major Chinese large‑language models—including DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.6, and MiMo v2.5 Pro—offering a lightweight, isolated way to route Claude Code requests without affecting existing Anthropic subscriptions.
The article analyzes how Chinese large language models like GLM‑5.1, Qianwen 3.6‑Plus and Gemma 4 achieve roughly one‑tenth the cost of GPT‑5.4, leading to dramatically higher profit margins, silent migration in Silicon Valley, and a rapid rise in market share backed by a maturing ecosystem.
After the New Year the author landed several AI contracts, delivering a six‑week knowledge‑base Q&A system and a two‑month AI customer‑service platform built with Dify, multi‑Agent workflows, RAG, and domestic large language models, cutting staff from fifteen to two and boosting development efficiency twofold.
With a growing array of overseas and domestic LLM APIs in 2024, this guide explains how to pick the right model—starting with a top‑tier option like GPT‑4o for feasibility testing, then moving to cost‑effective or Chinese alternatives, while weighing price, inference speed, context window, API compatibility, and rate limits.
