Since it is stable to use in mainland China, there is no need to register for an OpenAI account outside of China. It can be used without bypassing the Great Firewall, but the cost is that you have to pay from the beginning, and the price is almost the same as the official price. Here is a brief introduction: Use the "Logcg Input Method" author's "Logcg Smart Chat" website to access the ChatGPT API; use the "OpenCat" developed by the author of "Panda Eats Messages" to connect to the Logcg Smart Chat API on iOS/Mac, enabling the use of the client on Apple devices.
If there is a large demand or no need for synchronization across multiple platforms, you can try "PingPongChat", which has a higher price but no usage restrictions. The pricing is as follows: Conversation with AI (1 week) ¥6.00; Conversation with AI (1 month) ¥22.00; Conversation with AI (1 year) ¥198.00; unlimited, with a maximum of 4096 characters per conversation (including context), which is generally sufficient for tasks such as writing summaries or essays. For more details, please refer to: https://www.appinn.com/pingpongchat/
If you have the ability to register for an official account, you can directly use the official service and refer to the OpenCat usage instructions or close this article.
