Token Exchange (TokenHub)

Baidu launched Token Exchange, also called TokenHub, a marketplace that puts 42 models from many suppliers behind one API, with fingerprint checks and supplier credit ratings.

Developers connect to one API and switch between models from several suppliers, compare prices and performance, and pay by usage. Baidu checks suppliers with admission tests, spot checks and model fingerprint comparison, and shows each supplier's credit rating and a Trusted Supplier label. The platform supports OpenAI and Anthropic protocols.
