Baidu AI Cloud and FluxA have formed a strategic partnership to explore the new business models and digital infrastructure of the DAA (Daily Active Agents) era. Baidu's agent commercialization platform now supports Agent Payment and is building overseas distribution channels together with FluxA. Developers can build AI services that agents can invoke and purchase on Baidu AI Cloud Marketplace, and reach tens of thousands of agents across the FluxA ecosystem.
AI Agents Are Becoming a New Economic Actor
As AI agents grow from information-retrieval tools into autonomous actors that can complete tasks and deliver results, commercial activity is moving beyond human-to-human interaction into collaborative networks between people and agents, and between agents themselves.
At Baidu's Create 2026 conference, founder Robin Li proposed DAA, or Daily Active Agents, as a key metric for measuring ecosystem value in the AI era. As the number of agents grows, they will increasingly take part in production, collaboration, transactions, and service delivery.
Every agent needs an identity, an account, and the ability to pay and settle. As the agent economy keeps growing in the DAA era, it will call for a new generation of financial infrastructure built for that kind of activity.
FluxA Helps Baidu AI Cloud Close the Loop for the Agent Self-Employment Market
Through this partnership, Baidu's agent commercialization platform now supports Agent Payment and is building overseas distribution channels together with FluxA.
Developers can build agent-commercialized products on Baidu AI Cloud Marketplace and reach tens of thousands of agents across the FluxA ecosystem directly. For those who want to list services and reach overseas markets, Baidu provides marketplace resources, technical solutions, and distribution channels. FluxA Monetize serves as the global distribution platform, providing overseas service hosting and agent-to-agent (A2A) payment infrastructure that handles invocation, transactions, payments, and settlement for overseas users and AI agents.
Together, the partnership connects agents' tradable assets, distribution channels, and payment capabilities, building a full commercial chain across the DAA ecosystem that runs from asset issuance to capability trading to automated settlement.

FluxA Builds the Payment Foundation for the Agent Economy
FluxA is a leading global payment infrastructure for AI agents. Traditional payment platforms are built for the way people spend: scanning a QR code, entering a password, then waiting to settle. The payment needs of the agent economy are completely different. They call for millisecond response times, payments down to fractions of a cent, 24/7 automated transactions, and cross-border settlement without the usual friction.
To serve these new scenarios, FluxA rebuilt its payment and transaction stack for AI at the infrastructure level:
- Low-fee, high-frequency micro-transactions, so small payments can clear in milliseconds
- A Financial Harness mechanism that lets agents transact on their own, safely, within the limits they are authorized for
- Global collection with instant clearing and settlement for cross-border collaboration
- A one-click Token Paywall that supports token-based top-ups, metering, and settlement
Today, more than 90,000 agents use FluxA Wallet, and more than 10,000 AI agent resources have been commercialized on FluxA Monetize. Applications that connect to FluxA can quickly reach tens of thousands of AI agents across the ecosystem.
Join the Baidu OPC (One Person Company) Pioneer Program
The partnership between Baidu AI Cloud and FluxA is turning the agent economy from a technical capability into a user asset. The One Person Company (OPC) is the pivot point for that shift from zero to one. OPCs will be the first to run the full circulation chain on Baidu's agent commercialization platform, from listing a product, to self-employment, to overseas distribution. Each new stage moves the OPC closer to becoming a genuinely tradable asset.
Today, the first step of that chain is live. Baidu's agent commercialization platform now supports product listing and has set up overseas distribution channels. For an OPC, that means you can buy services and settle revenue inside the Baidu ecosystem, and even expand across borders, without complex qualifications or multi-day waits.
For the first phase, Baidu AI Cloud is inviting 30 OPCs to join a closed beta and run the full chain end to end. If you build virtual products, want to reach overseas markets, or want access to the agent ecosystem as you build, you are welcome to join.
The agent economy of the DAA era is only just getting started. And this time, agents really can earn on their own.
