Ernie 4.5 ‘surpasses’ the American model GPT-4.5 from OpenAI in ‘several reference tests’, while Ernie X1 presents ‘greater skills of understanding, planning, reflection and evolution,’ said the company
Baidu has announced two new models of Artificial Intelligence (IA), a call X1, with performance similar to the DA, but with lower cost, and the other basic, Ernie 4.5. Ernie 4.5 “surpasses” the American model GPT-4.5 in “several reference tests”, while Ernie X1 presents “greater abilities in understanding, planning, reflection and evolution,” Baidu told a message on the Wechat social network. The two free tools are available through Baidu Chatbot, Ernie Bot.
Following the example of DeepSeek, Baidu also announced that its AI models will become open source from June 30. Baidu was one of the first Chinese companies to implement a general AI platform in 2023, but the chatbots of rival companies such as Bytedance, owner of Tiktok, or MoonShot AI, saturated the market. Deepseek changed the AI landscape with the release in January of a model that aspires to be as efficient as chatgpt, but for a much lower cost.
