## Overview

ERNIE is Baidu’s model family, listed here for developer access separately from the consumer assistant. Qianfan provides model APIs, parameter controls, multilingual SDKs and compatible interfaces for text and multimodal processing. The official ERNIE repository also documents ERNIE 4.5 text and vision-language models and links ERNIEKit training tools and inference deployment projects. Hosted APIs and self-deployment are different access paths; check Qianfan’s catalog and each model card for availability, input types and licensing.
