GitHub Removes Chinese Developer’s fanzha-ai-proxy Project

GitHub has removed fanzha-ai-proxy, a project released by a Chinese developer using the pseudonym kltyton.

The project’s stated purpose was to let anyone tap into a government-run anti-fraud AI model for free and use it for requests indefinitely. Its premise was utilitarian, daring, and ambitious, but the project did not remain available on GitHub.

Chinese developers compared the idea to “picking fleas off a tiger’s head,” a phrase pointing to the severe penalties China typically imposes for stunts of this kind. The comparison reflects the risks they associated with making unrestricted access to the AI model available.

The project’s removal means that its GitHub-hosted version is no longer available there. The source does not state whether another copy or alternative access method exists.
