Baidu Launches Model Trading Platform 'Ciyuan', Aggregating 42 Large Models

Baidu has launched an open model service platform called "Ciyuan", connecting model suppliers and consumers, and aggregating 42 large models, including text and video models such as DeepSeek, Kimi, and Zhipu GLM. Developers can switch between models from multiple vendors and pay per call through a single API integration. The same model can be accessed from multiple suppliers, and the platform displays pricing, initial token latency, throughput speed, 7-day call success rate, and historical call volume, supporting both OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. For example, with DeepSeek-v4.1-flash, the platform integrates six suppliers, indicating the price-saving ratio, and displays context window, launch time, deployment region, and supplier credit evaluation. The platform rankings are based on real call data and can be viewed for the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. The total number of calls in the last 7 days was 398 million, with a total token volume of 51.336 trillion, involving 68 ranked model resources, and an average initial token latency of 290 milliseconds. DeepSeek-v4.1-flash ranked first in both call volume and token usage. Participating suppliers include Bochuan Technology, Infinite Mind, Star Hub Ciyuan, and Zhipu Original Factory, with the platform showcasing resource and supplier information through credit evaluations and blockchain verification.
