Key Points
- Chinese tech giant Baidu said it has launched two AI models, including the Ernie X1, which claims to perform the same performance as the DeepSeek R1 “at just half the price.”
- DeepSeek put the market in chaos earlier this year, with its open source AI model built on a small part of its Western competitors.
- The Chinese technology company said the Ernie X1’s in-depth thinking inference model and Baidu’s Ernie 4.5 local multimodal basic model are free for individual users.
Chinese technology giant Baidu (start) Say it has launched two Artificial Intelligence (AI) Models including Ernie X1, which claims to behave with DeepSeek R1 “only half the price.”
Baidu said in a statement Sunday that it released Ernie 4.5 (its native multimodal model) and Ernie X1, a “deep thinking reasoning model with multimodal capabilities,” the company said, a super effective open source AI model from competitor DeepSeek. The Chinese company said both models are free for individual users of its chatbots.
“Ernie X1 said, “There are enhanced abilities in understanding, planning, reflection and evolution. “Baidu said that in-depth thinking inference models are good at fields including dialogue, logical reasoning and complex computing.
DeepSeek Throwing Market In chaos Earlier this year, the Chinese startup released its own open source AI model, which, along with Openai’s Chatgpt, can use fewer advanced chips to make a small portion of the cost.
Baidu-listed shares rose about 1% in listing trading on Monday and lost nearly 10% of their value in the 12 months on Friday.
