Baidu AI Cloud's model platform, Chinese frontier models served from mainland China.
Qianfan is the model-as-a-service platform of Baidu AI Cloud, the cloud arm of Baidu, Inc. (Beijing, NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888), and it puts Baidu's own ERNIE family and the leading Chinese open-weight labs behind one OpenAI-compatible API. What reaches Opper is the third-party half of that catalogue, the DeepSeek, GLM and Kimi lines, through Qianfan's international platform with inference in mainland China. Pick this route when you want those model families from a Chinese hyperscaler rather than a Western re-host, and processing in China works for the workload.
