哈基米 (hajimi.ai) Review: Claude Code for the Risk-Tolerant

You’re a developer who needs Claude Code access from Shanghai without touching a VPN. 哈基米 targets exactly that niche. It’s a fresh station with minimal public track record, a 94% uptime claim, and a safety rating of 3/5. The composite score of 56.4/100 tells you this isn’t a polished service yet.

Models Available

The platform explicitly lists two models:

• Claude Code
• GPT-5.x

That’s it. No GPT-4o, no Gemini, no DeepSeek. The Claude Code focus is deliberate — if you’re building agents or doing heavy code generation with Anthropic’s tool-use paradigm, this station might work. GPT-5.x suggests access to the latest OpenAI iteration, but “5.x” is vague. Don’t expect GPT-4.1 or GPT-4 Turbo here.

Pricing & Payment

The platform offers a free trial (free_trial: True), but no monthly pricing is specified beyond $0. There’s no minimum recharge listed, no promo code. This is unusual for a Chinese relay station — most require a ¥10-50 top-up upfront.

You pay via Alipay or WeChat Pay. No VPN needed for the payment flow itself, and no foreign card friction.

Performance & Reliability

Uptime is listed at 94%. That’s below the industry standard of 99%+ for paid relay services. For context, most established stations like API2D or OneAPI target 99.5%+. A 94% uptime means roughly 22 hours of downtime per month. If you’re running production workloads, that’s a problem.

Safety rating is 3/5 — middle of the road. No data on data logging, request encryption, or compliance with Chinese regulations (e.g., content filtering). Given the “Bleeding-edge testers only” description, this is clearly a beta-stage product.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Claude Code support — rare among Chinese relay stations
• Free trial available, no upfront commitment
• Alipay/WeChat Pay, no VPN required

Cons

• Very limited public data and reviews — essentially unknown
• 94% uptime is unreliable for production use
• Only two models offered
• No refund policy or support transparency

Verdict

哈基米 is a niche station for developers who want to test Claude Code without VPN and don’t mind instability. The free trial lets you evaluate latency from Beijing or Shanghai before committing CNY. But the 94% uptime, lack of reviews, and missing model breadth make it a poor choice for anything beyond experimentation. If you need reliability, look at stations with verified 99%+ uptime and multiple model providers. If you’re a tinkerer who wants to poke at GPT-5.x or Claude Code from mainland China, give the free trial a spin — just don’t build on it.

FAQ

Q: Does 哈基米 work without VPN from mainland China? A: Yes. The service is accessible directly from mainland China, and payments go through Alipay or WeChat Pay without requiring a VPN.

Q: What models are actually available? A: Exactly two: Claude Code and GPT-5.x. No other models are listed, so don’t expect GPT-4o or Gemini access.

Q: Is the 94% uptime reliable for production workloads? A: No. 94% uptime means roughly 22 hours of potential downtime per month. For production use, look for services with 99%+ uptime and SLA guarantees.
