AI Wave is an API provider offering access to multiple AI models through a cost-effective proxy service. It supports models from Google Gemini (e.g., gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-2.5-pro, Imagen for image generation), Anthropic Claude (e.g., claude-opus-4-5-20251101, ClaudeCode), OpenAI (e.g., gpt-5 variants, Codex), and X AI Grok (e.g., grok-4-heavy, grok-imagine-0.9 for image generation). Key features include a conversion rate of 0.2 RMB to 1 USD, support for native requests to Claude and Gemini via URL suffixes, and multiple endpoints (main node: https://api.ai-wave.org, secondary node: https://api2.ai-wave.org). Use cases include text generation, coding assistance, and image creation. Note: Recent adjustments include a rate change from 2 to 2.5 for Google quotas, and invoices are available for recharges over 200 RMB.

Notes

Health checks: Scope: the 72-hour chart and recent availability measure API connectivity only. Each bar summarizes one hour of checks. Targets: LMSpeed tries the configured health check URL and provider status URL first, then API endpoints derived from known API hosts and recent speed-test base URLs. A website host is considered only when it looks like an API endpoint. Probe steps: each candidate goes through DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake for HTTPS, and an HTTP HEAD request with redirects followed. Probing stops after the first reachable candidate. Reachable criteria: every required network step must succeed. An HTTP response below 500 is treated as reachable, including 401 because it confirms that an authenticated API endpoint responded, except for statuses classified as blocked. Blocked results: HTTP 403, 429, 521, 525, and 530, plus detected WAF or Cloudflare challenges, are shown as blocked and excluded from availability calculations because LMSpeed cannot determine whether the API itself is down. Model availability: when a dedicated test key is configured, LMSpeed sends an authenticated GET request to a derived /models endpoint and compares returned model IDs with this provider's listed models. These per-model results appear in Models & Pricing and are not included in the provider connectivity percentage. Timeouts: TCP connection, TLS handshake, HTTP connectivity, and model requests each use a 20-second timeout. A full run can take longer when several candidates are tried. Frequency: a background worker checks all providers every 5 minutes by default. The 72-hour chart combines those samples into hourly bars, and the schedule may be changed by the service operator. Limit: automated samples are not an SLA and do not guarantee account quota, every model, every region, or successful completion requests. Check the provider's own status page before making operational decisions.

Domain Rating data is sourced from Ahrefs. It is a 0–100 backlink-based domain strength signal and does not measure API speed or reliability.

Announcements and FAQ are read from this provider's NewAPI status snapshot when available. LMSpeed stores the original content and optional English translations from the provider status source, then shows the localized fields on this page.
