Single-day Token throughput exceeded 1.33 trillion! B.AI Builds an "AI Power Grid" with Full-Stack Infrastructure, Consolidating the "Global Settlement Layer" for the Agent Economy

Recently, B.AI, a next-generation AI infrastructure platform, launched its "Affordable Compute for All" initiative, sparking an unprecedented surge in large model API calls among developers worldwide. Within just a few days, B.AI's platform-wide daily token throughput historically surpassed the 1.33 trillion mark, with daily API calls exceeding 10.86 million. Over the past 15 days, B.AI's core throughput has achieved an explosive 289-fold growth.

This milestone marks the full ignition of B.AI's "Affordable Compute" initiative. However, this is merely the first step in B.AI's strategic blueprint. B.AI's ultimate strategic vision is to completely transcend being a mere compute distribution channel and comprehensively build the core hub of a "Global Settlement Layer for Intelligence," thereby truly supporting massive numbers of Agents in cross-node collaboration, orchestration, and value distribution within complex business operations.

As the AI industry fully enters the era of high-frequency Agent collaboration, facing ever-growing concurrent demands, underlying foundational models are like isolated "power plants" scattered across different locations. B.AI, in contrast, is becoming the "AI Power Grid" that connects the entire era. With its forward-looking vision, B.AI precisely positions itself "above all models, below all Agents." By deeply integrating diverse top-tier models and full-stack components, it has laid the most solid and irreplaceable infrastructure foundation for the large-scale deployment of Agents and the explosion of productivity.

Daily Throughput Surpasses 1.33 Trillion! B.AI's "Affordable Compute" Initiative Sparks a Platform-Wide Call Frenzy

Recently, B.AI's free large model usage campaign quickly gained traction within the developer community, becoming an unprecedentedly hot topic in the industry. This affordability initiative, which could be called a "compute carnival," not only brought considerable activity to the platform but also set a series of striking high-profile records.

Within just a few days, B.AI's platform call volume grew by leaps and bounds, propelling the platform-wide daily token throughput to break through 1.33 trillion. Cumulative token throughput over 15 days reached as high as 8.19 trillion, with over 220,000 new API users added during this period. As of September 3rd, B.AI's platform-wide users have strongly surpassed 2.3 million. This wave of traffic generated by the "Affordable Compute" initiative is rewriting the usage records of AI infrastructure with the most authentic market response.

Such a massive scale of calls directly benefits from B.AI's free-tier matrix, which is sincere and precisely targets developers' pain point of "cost anxiety." In this campaign, B.AI fully opened up a lineup of 6 cutting-edge frontier models, providing the entire developer community with a "zero-barrier, unlimited" usage experience.

This production-grade matrix precisely covers the full-scenario needs of high-end applications: GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha) and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp strongly support multimodal vision and ultra-long text parsing; DeepSeek-V4-Flash, together with Qwen3.8-Flash, caters to ultra-high-concurrency responses and complex code logic generation; complemented by Tencent Hy3, which excels in Chinese language foundations, and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5, which is adaptable to all scenarios. From high-speed text and code reasoning to advanced visual parsing, B.AI uses this top-tier lineup to completely remove the cost barriers preventing developers from building complex AI applications.

It is precisely this "zero-barrier" matrix of top-tier models that directly catalyzed the surge in developer usage of B.AI. In the past, exorbitant token bills directly limited the implementation of complex Agent architectures. Now that B.AI has completely leveled compute costs, developers can finally unleash Agent architectures involving long-chain tasks such as "autonomous planning, tool invocation, reflection, and error correction," deploying them on a large scale into real production and testing environments.

It is worth noting that starting September 3rd, B.AI has adjusted its pricing for DeepSeek-V4-Flash and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, introducing tiered discounts (50% off during peak hours, and as low as 25% of the official peak price during off-peak hours). Meanwhile, it has retained the free mechanism for four models: GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha), Qwen3.8-Flash, Hy3, and MiMo-V2.5. Despite this commercial transition, developers' enthusiasm for calls remains undiminished, and the platform-wide token throughput continues its robust upward trend.

This fully demonstrates that this platform-wide viral campaign is not merely a concentrated release of compute dividends, but also an excellent "barometer" for the evolution of industry infrastructure. With the real-world data of 1.33 trillion daily tokens, it unequivocally shows that AI applications have officially moved beyond the simple "Q&A era." B.AI, with its solid technical foundation and refined service mechanisms, is now comprehensively empowering the large-scale implementation of advanced AI Agents.

B.AI Builds the "AI Power Grid," Consolidating the "Global Settlement Layer" for the Agent Economy

The "Affordable Compute" initiative created by B.AI is just the starting point, not the finish line. For B.AI, this "compute carnival" also serves as an ultimate stress test of the platform's underlying capabilities. When massive numbers of developers flood in simultaneously, and long-chain Agent tasks flow through the platform at unprecedented density, the real question emerges: How can this explosion be more than just a one-off event, and instead be consolidated into a sustainable, evolvable, and settleable system-level capability? Standing at this juncture, B.AI has chosen to direct its strategic gaze deeper, committing to building the full-stack infrastructure that underpins the operation of the Agent era and reinforcing its hub positioning as the "Global Settlement Layer for Intelligence."

In traditional understanding, the significance of infrastructure lies in "stable supply." But in the Agent era, the connotation of infrastructure is undergoing a qualitative change. A typical agentic task often requires repeatedly switching between multiple models: using a vision model to understand input, a reasoning model to plan steps, a code model to generate executable logic, and a lightweight model for formatting output. This workflow pattern of "multi-model relay" dictates that no single model provider can independently support a complete Agent workflow. Developers are forced to grapple with the fragmented reality of multiple API protocols, multiple billing systems, and multiple rate-limiting rules.

The settlement layer built by B.A.I precisely bridges this gap. With its forward-looking vision, B.AI positions itself accurately "above all models, below all Agents," abstracting models from different vendors, capabilities, and cost structures into a schedulable resource.

Leveraging its tiered API system based on "Official for Stability, Flexible Choice for Best Prices," developers can obtain the certainty of official direct connections while also flexibly selecting high-quality options at various discount tiers from a rich array of models, executing tasks of equal quality at more competitive costs. Combined with the "Smart Routing" feature on the Chat end, B.AI has created a full-stack "AI Power Grid," ensuring that every Agent task request lands on the most appropriate model with reasonable cost and stable performance.

The settlement capability of this power grid simultaneously accommodates the dual logic of Web2 and Web3. On the Web2 front, developers can continue using familiar traditional payment methods for top-ups and billing with extremely low barriers, seamlessly integrating into existing business processes. On the Web3 front, B.AI leverages on-chain payment channels to provide global developers with decentralized, verifiable, and low-friction payment options.

The parallel integration of these two payment systems allows developers and agentic applications from diverse backgrounds with different infrastructure preferences to find the most suitable settlement path on this grid, truly achieving "one integration, global circulation."

Targeting Core Productivity, B.AI's Full-Stack Infrastructure Reshapes the Agent Collaboration Network

After establishing a solid compute routing and global settlement foundation, B.AI has further advanced from infrastructure deployment to productivity reshaping, comprehensively empowering Agents to achieve efficient collaboration across diverse business scenarios and completing the most critical execution layer piece of the puzzle for the full-scale explosion of the Agent economy.

At the heart of this piece is support for Codex integration. Codex, as a core tool for code execution and the agentic action layer, holds an absolute technical advantage in understanding project architecture, proactively planning, and executing complex development tasks. Currently, B.AI's API is compatible with the Responses API. Developers can use their B.AI API Key within Codex to call upon the GPT series models supported by B.AI, as well as the DeepSeek series models favored by developers.

Through this seamless integration, technical teams can embed these two top-tier code intelligence engines directly into their daily coding workflows, meeting multi-dimensional needs such as code generation, logic understanding, bug debugging, system refactoring, and development collaboration in one stop. This provides developers with a complete, closed-loop experience from model selection to code deployment.

Achieving seamless connectivity between compute and the application layer is only the first step in unlocking the productivity of large models. Furthermore, to materialize the Agent economy, it is also necessary to solve the collaboration barriers between diverse Agents within task chains. To enable massive numbers of Agents to operate stably in real production environments, B.AI has built a full-stack infrastructure comprising five core components, equipping Agents with an extremely sophisticated operational system:

l x402 Payment Protocol: Unlocking automatic micropayments between Agents. Built on the HTTP 402 standard, this protocol innovatively introduces a "pay-before-response" mechanism. When cross-Agent API calls or compute collaborations occur, it can seamlessly execute high-frequency on-chain automatic micropayments and settlements in the background.

l 8004 Identity Authentication Protocol: Minting exclusive "digital IDs" for Agents. The 8004 protocol generates objective, verifiable identity credentials for each Agent on-chain, accumulating its call history and credit score, thereby completing the crucial trust loop for cross-node collaboration in the intelligent economy.

l Skills "Building Blocks": Equipping Agents with an out-of-the-box toolchain. Working in deep conjunction with MCP Servers, the standardized Skills matrix grants Agents highly modular tool invocation capabilities, thoroughly bridging the last mile for Agents from "thinking and decision-making" to "action and execution."

l BAIclaw and BAIcode: Native Super Assistants. As super-app forms for end-users and developers, BAIclaw and BAIcode represent the ultimate expression of B.AI's underlying architecture and orchestration capabilities. Among them, BAIclaw focuses on versatile intelligent terminals and multi-Agent collaboration, deeply integrating a top-tier model matrix. Users only need to input natural language commands to fully automatically drive Agents to execute complex on-chain economic activities and provide 24/7 custody. BAIcode, as an advanced AI programming tool, combines the top-tier intelligence of large models to achieve a full-process closure from requirement understanding and architecture planning to code generation and testing.

From the token throughput surge triggered by the free-tier frenzy, to the establishment of the architecture as the "Global Settlement Layer for Intelligence"; from the seamless Codex integration, to the full-stack infrastructure built on x402, 8004, Skills, and native assistants – B.AI demonstrates not just a set of hardcore technical solutions, but also a clear vision for the future. In this AI-driven industrial transformation, B.AI steadfastly positions itself "above all models, below all Agents," transforming fragmented and dispersed compute supply into highly available, transferable, and settleable system-level network capabilities.

When millions of Agents operate seamlessly, collaborate freely, and settle transactions within milliseconds on this infrastructure, AI is accelerating its departure from being a mere one-way Q&A tool, truly evolving into an economic entity that drives a leap in societal productivity. What B.AI is solidifying is not only the present of affordable compute, but also the ultimate foundation for the large-scale explosion of the Agent economy. The future is here, and this is only the beginning.
