Baidu Launches Ciyuansuo, a Large-Model Trading Platform

November 12 — According to STAR Market Daily, at the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026 held today, Baidu founder Robin Li said that models are iterating very quickly: in the first nine months of this year, more than one new model was released almost every day, while at the same time demand for calling models has also seen an explosive surge. This has spawned a batch of token relay stations. To that end, Baidu has launched a large-model trading platform, Ciyuansuo. He said Ciyuansuo is an exchange for large models, hoping to bring together good models and model providers so that enterprises and even individuals can conveniently find, buy and use trustworthy model Tokens. In the month since Ciyuansuo went live, more than 100 supplier resources have joined the platform, with average daily calls exceeding 50 million and average daily tokens called exceeding 700 billion.
