[Baidu Launches Large-Scale Model Trading Platform, CiYuanSuo] At the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026, Baidu founder Robin Li stated that in the first nine months of this year, almost every day saw the release of more than one new model, leading to a surge in demand for model usage. This has spurred the emergence of a number of ciyuan (model token) exchange platforms. Baidu launched CiYuanSuo, a large-scale model trading platform, hoping to aggregate high-quality models and model providers, allowing businesses and individuals to easily find, purchase, and use trusted model tokens. In the month since its launch, CiYuanSuo has attracted over 100 supply resources, with daily calls exceeding 50 million and daily token transactions exceeding 700 billion.
