Baidu: ERNIE 4.5 VL 424B A47B

baidu/ernie-4.5-vl-424b-a47b

ERNIE-4.5-VL-424B-A47B is a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Baidu’s ERNIE 4.5 series, featuring 424B total parameters with 47B active per token. It is trained jointly on text and image data using a heterogeneous MoE architecture and modality-isolated routing to enable high-fidelity cross-modal reasoning, image understanding, and long-context generation (up to 131k tokens). Fine-tuned with techniques like SFT, DPO, UPO, and RLVR, this model supports both “thinking” and non-thinking inference modes. Designed for vision-language tasks in English and Chinese, it is optimized for efficient scaling and can operate under 4-bit/8-bit quantization.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Effective Pricing

The chart below shows the average price customers are actually paying after prompt caching. Depending on the amount of repeated context you send, this can be 60–80% cheaper than the provider list price. Shown are rolling averages from the past 30 days.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
