The author tested enabling web search for the Bailian model via the tools parameter

Alibaba Cloud Developer Community AI published a hands-on test article on October 27, 2026, stating that on Alibaba Cloud Bailian 2.5.0, web search can be enabled by declaring web_search through the tools parameter. The article records that for "today's weather in Shanghai," the model changed from refusing to answer in 9.2 seconds to returning the day's actual conditions in 24.5 seconds and writing the date correctly; after adding web_extractor, the model could decide on its own the number of retrieval rounds and the scraping targets, and the counts of two web_search calls and three web_extractor calls in the JSON output matched the item-by-item records. The article also records that web-enabled call latency ranged from 17 to 127 seconds, with 22,789 tokens per single input, and notes that agent and agent_max strategies other than turbo incur an additional charge per call. Currently this hands-on test is a single source, with no subsequent developments yet.
