Multimodal reasoning model for visual analysis, planning, and tool use
ERNIE 5.0 by baidu is offered by 2 providers on this page. Its reference price is $1.00 per 1M input tokens and $3.50 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is ZenMux at $0.84 / $3.37 per 1M, about 1.2× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 14.3 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $1.47 per 1M, that is roughly 10 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.
The context window is 128,000 tokens, with an output limit of 16,384 tokens. It supports reasoning and tool use. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and Video. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-01-01.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
2 / 2 providers expose no reasoning control (reasoning_options: []).
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
