Hello everyone! I hope you're having a fantastic day. Today, I want to share some exciting news from Baidu, one of the leading AI companies in the world. Recently, Baidu announced a series of groundbreaking AI innovations that promise to empower developers and accelerate AI progress. Let’s dive into what they unveiled at their annual developer conference, Baidu Create 2025.

Baidu has introduced two new powerful models: ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and ERNIE X1 Turbo. These models are designed to bring faster responses, better reasoning, and multimodal capabilities — which means they can handle text, images, and other data types seamlessly. Both models are available now for free on ERNIE Bot, making advanced AI tools accessible to a wide range of users.

So, what makes these models special? First, ERNIE 4.5 Turbo offers overall improvements in reducing hallucinations (incorrect or misleading responses), logical reasoning, and coding abilities. It responds faster and has multimodal capabilities comparable to GPT-4.1, outperforming many existing models across various benchmarks. Impressively, it is priced very competitively, with input costs at only RMB 0.8 per million tokens and output at RMB 3.2 per million tokens — around 80% cheaper than its predecessor, ERNIE 4.5, and significantly more affordable than other high-end models like GPT-4.5 and DeepSeek V3.

Meanwhile, ERNIE X1 Turbo is an upgraded deep-thinking reasoning model. It boasts a more advanced chain of thought, stronger reasoning capabilities, and enhanced multimodal and tool invocation functions. This makes it excellent for tasks like question-and-answer, literary creation, and logical reasoning. Its performance outperforms previous models like DeepSeek R1 and the latest version of V3, all while being priced at half the cost of ERNIE X1 — only RMB 1 per million tokens for input and RMB 4 for output.

Baidu emphasizes that multimodality — the ability to process and integrate different types of data like text and images — will become a standard feature of future foundation models. They believe that the market for pure text models will shrink, while multimodal models will see continuous growth. This shift is already evident with their new models, which excel in handling diverse data and complex tasks.

In addition to these models, Baidu showcased impressive AI applications. One highlight is the highly convincing digital human, which features ultra-realistic voice and appearance, as well as professional content generation and flexible interactions. Baidu’s Huiboxing platform allows users to create personalized digital humans in just one click by uploading a short video, making digital human livestreaming more accessible and engaging.

Baidu is also making strides in multi-agent collaboration. They launched Xinxiang, a multi-agent app capable of solving complex problems across 200 different task types, including knowledge analysis, travel planning, studying, and office work. This app is expected to expand to over 100,000 task types, showcasing Baidu’s commitment to versatile AI solutions.

Furthermore, Baidu announced new initiatives to support AI developers. Their AI Open Platform now offers traffic, monetization opportunities, and access to the latest AI services. They also introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which acts like a universal socket connecting external services with large models through standardized interfaces. This makes integrating and expanding AI capabilities much easier for developers.

To foster innovation, Baidu announced the third ERNIE Cup Innovation Challenge, doubling previous investment to RMB 70 million, encouraging developers worldwide to create impactful AI projects. Additionally, Baidu plans to cultivate 10 million AI talents over the next five years, emphasizing their dedication to building a thriving AI ecosystem.

Baidu’s CEO, Robin Li, summed up the vision at the event: "Our goal is to empower developers to build the best applications without worrying about model capability, costs, or development tools. While many models will exist, applications are where true power lies." With these powerful new models and tools, Baidu is truly aiming to lead the future of AI innovation.

Thank you for reading! It’s exciting to see how companies like Baidu are pushing the boundaries of AI technology. The future of AI looks bright, and with such advancements, we’re all set to see even more incredible applications soon.
