# Qianfan Provider Guide

Qianfan is Baidu's MaaS platform, provides a **unified API** that routes requests to many models behind a single
endpoint and API key. It is OpenAI-compatible, so most OpenAI SDKs work by switching the base URL.

## Prerequisites

1. A Baidu Cloud account with Qianfan API access
2. An API key from the Qianfan console
3. Fased installed on your system

## Getting Your API Key

1. Visit the [Qianfan Console](https://console.bce.baidu.com/qianfan/ais/console/apiKey)
2. Create a new application or select an existing one
3. Generate an API key (format: `bce-v3/ALTAK-...`)
4. Copy the API key for use with Fased

## CLI setup

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
fased onboard --auth-choice qianfan-api-key
```

The normal setup surfaces now use the same Qianfan auth method:

* Onboarding: `Qianfan` -> `Qianfan API key`
* CLI: `fased onboard --auth-choice qianfan-api-key`
* UI: **Agent > Models** -> `Qianfan` -> `Qianfan API key`

The first-run model list is curated from Qianfan's current model table:

* `qianfan/ernie-5.1` default flagship
* `qianfan/ernie-5.0`
* `qianfan/ernie-5.0-thinking-latest`
* `qianfan/ernie-5.0-thinking-preview`
* `qianfan/ernie-x1.1`
* `qianfan/ernie-x1-turbo-32k`
* `qianfan/deepseek-v4-pro`
* `qianfan/deepseek-v4-flash`
* `qianfan/deepseek-v3.2`
