Mobile apps should never expose provider API keys directly. Chinese LLM APIs should be accessed through a backend or gateway.
Mobile use cases
Chinese LLM APIs can support:
- chat assistants
- translation
- document summaries
- customer support
- education features
- shopping assistants
Architecture
Use a backend gateway for keys, quotas, routing, and logs. The mobile client should call your API, not the model provider directly.
Final thoughts
Chinese LLM APIs can power mobile AI features, but secure key handling and latency-aware routing are essential.
