The Chinese company Baidu has announced the launch of two new artificial intelligence models. According to Reuters, one of them is a new model focused on the reasoning that its creators say that it can rival Deepseek, which further agitates the artificial intelligence sector in China, but also worldwide.
The launch a few weeks ago of the models of the Chinese Deepseek startup, whose responsible indicate that they offer a performance that matches, or even exceeds, models of the sector developed in the United States, but with a very much lower cost than the derivative of the creation, training and deployment of these, the sector has revolutionized, in addition to encouraging the race to achieve the most powerful and economical model.
Now these two Baidu models arrive: Ernie x1 y Ernie 4.5. The first one, according to Baido, offers a performance similar to that achieved by Deepseek R1, but with an even lower cost: half. From the company they also point out that Ernie X1 has more solid planning, observation, observation, observation and evolution capabilities. They have also commented that it is the first deep thinking model capable of using tools autonomously.
As for Ernie 4.5, it is the most advanced Baidu Founding Model. It has a high -level multimodal understanding capacity, and “more advanced language capacities, since its understanding, generation, logic and memory capabilities have improved exhaustively.” The company also emphasizes that it has a high emotional intelligence component (EQ), and that it is even able to understand satirical comic strips and popular network memes.
Baidu was one of the first Chinese giants of technology to launch a chatbot chatbot, but has had problems that its large model of Ernie language, whose new version has just announced, manages to advance in adoption, despite counting, according to the company, as a performance comparable to the OpenAi GPT-4. It is a sample of the great competition that exists among the companies of the generative AI sector with their models and chats.
