01.AI launches TrueNorth (万策), a quoted enterprise decision platform with three packaged AI agents

01.AI pricing

01.AI shipped TrueNorth in July 2026 — an enterprise AI decision platform packaged as Boss AI, Investor AI and TopSales AI, sold entirely by consultation with no published price.

Before

Enterprise revenue came from the Wanzhi (万智) enterprise LLM platform and bespoke vertical solutions in finance, energy and gaming.

After

A named decision platform, TrueNorth (万策), with three role-shaped agent products — Boss AI, Investor AI, TopSales AI — plus consulting with forward-deployed engineers and sovereign-AI deployments, all quoted via a 'Book a Consultation' form.

01.AI’s corporate site now leads with TrueNorth (万策), an “enterprise AI decision hub” launched in July 2026, and packages it into three role-shaped products: Boss AI for executive decisions, Investor AI for investment and board decisions, and TopSales AI for B2B and government sales teams. They sit alongside the Wanzhi (万智) enterprise LLM platform (March 2025), AI-transformation consulting with forward-deployed engineers, and sovereign-AI deployments.

None of it carries a list price. The only call to action across the Chinese and English sites is “Book a Consultation” (预约咨询) — the packaging is named and productised, but the pricing motion remains fully sales-led. That leaves 01.AI with a stark two-speed model: a ¥0.99-per-million-token shop window on the developer platform, and an entirely quoted business behind it.

From 01.AI's pricing timeline
Rate card re-verified unchanged — yi-lightning ¥0.99/1M, yi-vision-v2 ¥6/1M

An independent recheck against the live docs payload and Wayback snapshots confirms no price movement: yi-lightning holds ¥0.99/1M tokens (~$0.14) and yi-vision-v2 holds ¥6/1M (~$0.85), both 16K context, both billed on input and output tokens combined, exactly as archived continuously since at least 2025-01-22. The two-SKU card was never withdrawn — the June 2026 'gated' reading was a capture failure. Prepaid mechanics re-confirmed: cumulative top-up buys the rate-limit ladder at ¥500 (Tier 2), ¥2,000 (Tier 3), ¥10,000 (Tier 4) and ¥100,000 (Tier 5), with the token rate identical at every tier.

01.AI (零一万物 / Lingyiwanwu) is Kai-Fu Lee's Chinese foundation-model lab behind the open-weight Yi model family, the Yi API, and — since 2026 — a set of enterprise AI-agent platforms.
