Retired on . No longer served on the endpoint we price — the figures below are kept for historical reference only. Full retirement status & replacements →
Availability: Nobody sells Yi Large at a published per-token price any more, checked on three first-party surfaces on 2026-08-17. 01.AI's own API platform (platform.lingyiwanwu.com) lists exactly two priced models — yi-lightning at ¥0.99 and yi-vision-v2 at ¥6 per 1M tokens — and Yi Large is not one of them. OpenRouter, the reseller this row's $3.00/$9.00 came from, carries no 01.AI model at all in its live catalogue (0 of 414); its Yi Large page still renders but quotes no price and reports no traffic. 01.AI itself has stopped selling model access and now sells enterprise AI products and transformation services. 01.AI never announced a shutdown date for Yi Large, so the retirement date above is the day we confirmed it was gone, not a date the vendor published. The price shown is what the model last cost, not a rate you can buy today; yi-lightning is 01.AI's surviving general-purpose model, and we do not yet track it.

Price receipt

Historical price.This model is retired — withdrawn on — so the provider no longer sells it and its page can no longer confirm this number: a price for a model no longer on sale is unconfirmable by definition, not missing. The figures above are the last prices we recorded for this model, kept as a historical record rather than a live quote.

Overview

01.AI's former flagship bilingual English/Chinese model, a 32K-context mid-tier SKU that was last listed at ~$3.00/$9.00 per 1M tokens through hosting providers. It is no longer sold at any published per-token price: 01.AI's own API platform now prices only yi-lightning and yi-vision-v2, and the company has moved on to enterprise AI products.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 2.5th1 independent measurement
Percentile per $/Mtok 0.6

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.
