01 — Overview

Add powerful AI to your product — just call an API

MaaS (Model as a Service) gives you instant access to best-in-class AI models — such as DeepSeek and GLM — through a simple API. There's no need to build, train or host a model yourself; you simply call the model and pay per use.

It's the fastest way to add features like chat, search, translation, code generation and customer profiling to your products. Your data is never used to train the models, and the service is built for speed and cost efficiency. DDS integrates it on Huawei Cloud and supports your team from first call to production.

05 — FAQ

MaaS, answered

What is a 'token'?

Roughly a small chunk of text. You're billed by how much text the model reads (input) and writes (output).

Is my data safe with MaaS?

Yes — your data is never used to train the models, with end-to-end encryption and audit trails following data-security standards.

Do I need AI engineers?

No deep AI expertise is required — a developer can integrate the models via the API.

Which models can I use?

Leading open models including DeepSeek (V4-Flash, V3.2, V3.1, R1) and GLM (5.1, 5). The line-up is updated frequently.

How much does it cost?

Pay per token, by input and output. For example, DeepSeek-V3.2 is roughly $0.27 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output tokens. Prices change frequently.
