@seclink: It can be seen from various code agents that there are many relay stations or large model factories. Relay stations that haven't secured funding typically survive by reverse engineering, cracking, and stealing accounts. Relay stations with funding do code Agent + code plan + data center construction + inference deployment optimization + …
This post comments on the current state of the code agent field, pointing out that unfunded relay stations survive by reverse engineering and cracking, while funded relay stations develop multiple AI services. It also promotes the WanJie Ark Intelligent Assistant platform, which offers text-to-image, text chat, and other features.
@Saccc_c: The relay stations have been hit by one thing after another lately. First, various domestic bans forced many to shut down, and now a server poisoning incident has directly deleted users' entire hard drive files.

@seclink: I spotted a hot new side-hustle on Xianyu: AI relay stations—demand far outstrips supply… Built with vibe-coding, an OpenAI-compatible relay is low-tech, cheap to run, and customers are queuing up… Wild-west phase = plenty of room for sharp indie devs to cash in.
A booming micro-business on Xianyu: devs use vibe-coding to spin up OpenAI-compatible relay APIs. Low barrier, tiny cost, huge demand—prime time for nimble indie developers to profit.
