PaidBaidu AI Cloud platform for ERNIE and other models via API
What is Baidu Qianfan?
Baidu Qianfan is the large model service and agent development platform on Baidu AI Cloud. Developers call ERNIE models alongside third-party models such as DeepSeek and GLM through one API, paying per million tokens.
The international documentation covers text generation, deep thinking and visual understanding models, with structured output, function calling and dialogue prefix continuation. A usage statistics guide and token length tools help estimate costs before sending large prompts.
Pricing is pay-as-you-go and varies by model and input length, with discounted rates for cached input on many models. The management API also covers seats and member API keys, so teams can hand out access and track usage per person.
