Choose the provider. Own the account. Keep us out of the data path.

Monitored every day

Fresh China AI signals, with the source attached.

We monitor Chinese AI reporting and vendor documentation for model, API, pricing, availability, and operating changes that matter to English-market buyers. Only verified, decision-useful changes enter the public log.

MiniMax records repeated short LLM error incidents across September 29 and 30

MiniMax's official status page records twelve separate periods of elevated errors for its Large Language Models component on September 29 between 00:03 and 10:04 UTC. Each was marked resolved after one to eleven minutes. The page records another LLM incident on September 30 from 01:04 to 01:10 UTC and currently reports all systems operational. The incident notices do not identify specific models, API endpoints, accounts, regions, error rates or a root cause.

How an engagement works

Scope first. Provider contract last.

We organise the decision; the provider relationship remains yours.

01

Send a non-confidential brief

Tell us the output type, volume, region, budget range, and decision deadline. Do not send keys, prompts, media, or personal data.

02

Confirm scope in writing

We reply with the deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timing, price, and invoice details before any paid work begins.

03

Receive the decision pack

Delivery is a practical brief, worksheet, or operating blueprint. You review it before contracting with any provider.

04

Contract with providers directly

You open, pay for, and control every third-party account. IT CaoCao does not resell credits or sit in the generation data path.

Free planning tools

Check your assumptions before requesting a proposal.

Use the research-cost calculator or review the downloadable local Sandbox. The tools remain clearly separate from paid advisory work.
