BAAI Models

Q: Which BAAI model should I start with?

BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5 at $0.034/M input — the cheapest entry here that declares tool calling. Move up to bge-large-en when answer quality matters more than cost.

Which models that traffic went to

Share of 37.2B tokens.

The two views disagree on purpose: a model can take a large share of the calls and a small share of the tokens — many short requests — or the reverse. Which one matters depends on whether your cost is driven by call volume or by prompt length. Measured on AIHubMix over the last 30 days, counting the 5 model IDs listed on this page; traffic routed through upstream-specific IDs that are not in the public catalog is not included.

Prices are USD per million tokens; cache read and cache write are the rates for prompt-cache hits and for writing a prompt into the cache. Throughput and latency are measured on AIHubMix — the same figures the model detail page shows — not vendor claims. A dash means the catalog does not publish that field for that model, which is not the same as the model not supporting it.

BAAI on AIHubMix

Which BAAI model should I start with?

BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5 at $0.034/M input — the cheapest entry here that declares tool calling. Move up to bge-large-en when answer quality matters more than cost.

Why are there several entries for the same model?

Because each row is a route you can call, not a model release. Some IDs name an upstream (azure-, alicloud-, cc-), some are the open-weight repository form (BAAI/…), and some differ only in capitalisation, kept so older integrations keep working.

The catalog does not carry a field saying which of those a given row is, so this page does not sort them into buckets it would have to invent. Every row shows that route’s own price, context and speed — compare those directly, and open a model to see the upstreams that serve it.

Do I need a separate BAAI account?

No. One AIHubMix key covers every model on this page, and switching between them is a change to the model string — billing, rate limits, and logs stay in one place.
