B.AI’s Free Model Access Drives 1.33 Trillion Daily Tokens

B.AI, an AI infrastructure platform, opened free access to six leading models and saw daily token usage exceed 1.33 trillion within days. The surge brought the platform’s total user base to more than 2.3 million and generated 8.19 trillion tokens over a 15‑day period.

Free Access Fuels Rapid Adoption

The platform now offers unlimited free usage for DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash, DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash‑Vision‑Exp, Tencent Hy3, Xiaomi MiMo‑V2.5, GLM‑5.3‑Flash (Ox Alpha) and Qwen3.8‑Flash. A new pricing tier for the DeepSeek models provides a 50 % discount during peak hours and 75 % off off‑peak rates, while the other four models remain free.

Building an “AI Grid” Settlement Layer

B.AI positions its service “above all models, below all agents,” abstracting multiple providers into a single pool of resources. It offers a dual‑tier API for guaranteed routes and low‑cost custom channels, and supports both traditional Web2 payments and on‑chain Web3 payment rails.

Full‑Stack Tools for Agent Collaboration

Key components include the x402 Payment Protocol for pay‑before‑response micro‑settlements, the 8004 Identity Protocol for on‑chain agent credentials, a modular Skills Matrix for tool‑calling, and built‑in assistants BAIclaw and BAIcode that manage multi‑agent workflows and code generation.

Implications for the Agent Economy

By unifying model access, payment, and execution layers, B.AI aims to support large‑scale autonomous AI agents across complex business workflows, marking a shift from basic chatbot usage to more sophisticated agentic applications.
