Qianfan

Why we recommend Qianfan

Qianfan is Baidu Cloud's enterprise LLM platform. In 2026 it launched a Token Plan personal subscription for individual developers. Compared to other vendors, Qianfan's differentiator is unique: unified Token deduction + multi-model aggregation.

One Baidu, two domains. Qianfan splits across two surfaces:

• cloud.baidu.com is the brand portal (product intros, docs, customer cases) — the "Visit official site" button at the top points here.
• console.bce.baidu.com is the developer console (Baidu Cloud account, API key, Token Plan subscription, billing) — the "Subscribe on console.bce.baidu.com" buttons on the right jump to the console.

Both run on the same Baidu account — sign up once and you can use both.

Token Plan 个人版 — 4 tiers at first-purchase 50% off:

Highlights:

• Unified Token deduction (no input/output/cache-hit multipliers) — this is unique across all Coding Plan subscriptions (Zhipu / Qwen / Kimi / StepFun all calculate by Credits / quotas with input vs output split). Simplest and most transparent.
• Multi-model freedom: alongside Baidu's own 文心 series, GLM / DeepSeek / Kimi can be switched on the fly without extra cost or subscription swap.
• Three-tier rate limit lifted completely — peak hours stay stable, no throttling.
• OpenAI / Anthropic protocols + Cursor / Windsurf / Cline compatible.
• Night Boost Tokens plan: daily 21:00‑08:00, in-plan Tokens cost as low as 2折 (20% off); new flagship models GLM-5.2 / DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 / DeepSeek-V4-Pro are eligible — lower cost for scale.

In practice, cloud.baidu.com/product/codingplan.html is the product overview; subscription entry is at console.bce.baidu.com/qianfan/resource/token-plan. New users get first-purchase 50% off.

If your project needs unified Token deduction (no input/output split) + multi-model aggregation (GLM / DeepSeek / Kimi) + reliable China access + transparent billing, Qianfan Token Plan is a strong 2026 pick.
