Baidu
Platform
Baidu's open autonomous-driving developer platform offering cloud simulation, a fleet R&D cloud, high-precision mapping and calibration services and the D-KIT hardware development kit, distinct from the Apollo Go robotaxi service.
Data intelligence platform that converts unstructured enterprise data into agent-comprehensible formats and business-ontology models, with a Data Agent for supply-chain, retail, LLM-training, autonomous-driving and RAG use cases.
Toloka
Platform
An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.
A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.
No counterpart
Baidu sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Baidu's driverless ride-hailing service, operating in Chinese cities under the name Luobo Kuaipao.
Baidu's consumer assistant for chat, writing and image generation, built on the ERNIE models.
API service
Remote identity-authentication API combining ID-card OCR, liveness detection resistant to deepfakes/3D masks/synthetic faces, and facial comparison against authoritative government databases; mobile SDK, H5 and cloud access.
Image-recognition API family identifying over 100,000 object/scene types, plus specialised plant (20,000+ species), animal (8,000+ species), vehicle and logo (20,000+ brand) recognition, via public cloud or private deployment.
OCR service recognizing printed/handwritten documents, images, tables, stamps and QR codes across 20+ languages, via public cloud API, offline SDK or private deployment.
Developer tool
AI coding assistant, marketed in Chinese as Wenxin Kuaima, that generates code, unit tests and comments and answers programming questions through IDE plugins.
Baidu's open-source deep learning framework for building, training and deploying machine learning and large models, anchoring an ecosystem that includes AI Studio, EasyDL and EasyEdge.
Infrastructure service
Baidu AI Cloud's heterogeneous AI-computing platform providing large-scale GPU and Kunlun-chip clusters, distributed training acceleration and inference serving for large-model workloads.
Model API
Baidu AI Cloud platform that serves ERNIE and third-party models with fine-tuning and application tooling.
Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Baidu yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.
Data service
Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.
Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.
A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
