Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I noticed that Chinese AI models are 85-99% cheaper than OpenAI's — same quality, fraction of the cost. But most developers don't know how to access or resell them. I've been running a multi-provider AI API relay for months, and I kept getting asked "how do I start my own?" So I packaged everything into a business-in-a-box. What's inside: ✅ One-API gateway — Docker, production-ready ✅ Multi-provider routing (DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, OpenAI, Claude) ✅ User management, Stripe billing, and quota tracking ✅ Customer acquisition playbook (the part most technical guides skip) Margins are 80-95%. Startup cost is ~$7. Happy to answer any questions about running an API relay business! 🙌
