Baidu Qianfan: CoBuddy (free)
Analysis Summary
Baidu's Qianfan CoBuddy is a free model with tool use and function calling support and a 131K context window, but no independent benchmark data is available.
This makes it suitable only for exploratory or low-stakes automation testing rather than dependable client-facing deployment.
A free option to experiment with, not a primary recommendation for production workloads.
