A per-model winner combines blended price and estimated 500-token response time with equal proportional weight. Ties and rows missing either measurement receive no badge. Comparison data calculated . Values use one deterministic route per provider and model; missing measurements remain visible as N/a.

Baidu Qianfan vs SiliconFlow analysis

How Baidu Qianfan and SiliconFlow compare for AI inference

Baidu Qianfan and SiliconFlow share 7 indexed text models, including GLM 5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1. Baidu Qianfan has the stronger typical response-time result on the directly measured set.

Same-model speed evidence

7 shared models currently have complete response-start and output-speed measurements on both providers. The speed comparison uses per-model ratios before taking the median, so naturally faster model catalogs do not improve the result.

Token pricing on one workload

7 shared models have complete input and output prices on both providers. Prices use the same 1,000-input/500-output-token mix and are normalized to one million tokens for readability.

Catalog and deployment differences

Baidu Qianfan has 7 indexed models and lists no published server regions; SiliconFlow has 36 models and lists 1 region. Verify data residency, privacy terms, limits, and production latency directly before choosing.
