Latest update (11-12 03:39): Baidu launches Token Exchange, a marketplace that tests and rates model suppliers

Overview: Baidu launches Token Exchange, a marketplace where AI model suppliers list models and customers compare them side by side on pricing and performance. Robin Li launched the platform at Baidu World 2026 in Beijing on November 12, according to Pandaily.

Before listing, Baidu says it runs credential checks and model fingerprint comparisons to detect model swapping and inflated specifications. Suppliers then undergo regular spot checks, receive scores and credit ratings, and appear on a public credit record.

Baidu says the platform has more than 100 supply resources and averages over 50 million calls and 700 billion tokens per day one month in. Baidu has not independently verified these figures. The site, cysuo.com, requires phone registration and real-name verification.
