Chinese LLM APIs for Tool Calling: DeepSeek, Qwen, MiniMax, GLM, and Kimi

Chinese LLMTool CallingAI AgentsQwenDeepSeek
Tool calling lets models interact with software systems. When evaluating Chinese LLM APIs for agents, tool behavior should be tested carefully.
What to test
Measure:
- correct tool selection
- valid arguments
- permission handling
- retry behavior
- hallucinated tools
- latency
- cost per completed workflow
Safety
The model should not execute actions directly. Application logic must validate arguments and enforce permissions.
Routing
Use DeepSeek for planning, Qwen or GLM for business workflows, MiniMax for conversational agents, and Kimi when long context is needed.
Final thoughts
Chinese LLM APIs can support tool calling, but production agents need validation, permissions, audit logs, and careful routing.
