Positioning, tradeoffs, and fit are consolidated into one read instead of repeating the same story across separate cards.
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.
baidu multimodal profile
Multimodal / Long-context research with standard context and heavy runtime.
Efficient spend profile. More comfortable for sustained prompt volume if the capability fit is right.
Vision-capable routing opens up multimodal review and extraction workflows.
Budget-friendly input pricing is a strength, but raw capability may vary by workload.
Latency profile is better for deliberate runs than rapid back-and-forth chat.
Context window is more comfortable for focused tasks than extremely long sessions.
Image-grounded review, multimodal extraction, and UI audit workflows.
Benchmarks
Only benchmark categories with actual signal are shown. Secondary values stay as simple definitions instead of nested micro-cards.
Specs & Pricing
Specs stay neutral, pricing gets emphasis through values rather than extra containers. Raw provider internals remain in metadata at the end.
This model is relatively efficient on price. It is the easier fit when sustained prompt volume matters.
Metadata
Verification details remain available, but the page no longer forces them ahead of the editorial read.
