Baidu, a dominant internet search engine company in China, recently launched an upgraded version of its AI-like chatbot, Ernie 4.0, rivaling OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to reports, the CEO of Baidu, Robin Li, proclaimed that the launch of the new and upgraded version of the Large Language Model (LLM), Ernie 4.0, may foster a new round of economic growth. Li revealed the project at the company’s annual flagship technology conference in Beijing on October 17, 2023.
Although the general public is not yet allowed to access the latest model of Ernie 4, the CEO of Baidu claims it to be as good as OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4.
Baidu is a Chinese internet tech giant headquartered in Beijing. The tech giant, founded in 2000, specializes in providing internet search and internet services throughout the local Chinese market.
Earlier this year, Baidu revealed its generative AI chatbot, Ernie, also known as Ernie Bot, for the first time in August 2023. The initial launch created quite a buzz in the local Chinese market as Baidu’s generative AI LLM became one of the most downloaded apps on Apple’s IOS store in China. Soon after, Baidu gradually became an internet service company specializing in endowing AI-related services.

The introduction of ChatGPT last year gaslighted companies to develop and build different AI businesses and models following the sudden global craze over AI and technology. This sudden drift towards the development of AI is constantly pushing tech giants to skyrocket their growths and developments when it comes to AI.
Earlier this year, OpenAI reintroduced its AI chatbot tool ChatGPT, adding features to amplify its appeal to individuals and enterprise users. The AI tool that was limited to 2021 data only now includes a real-time web browsing feature on its groundbreaking AI tool, ChatGPT. The upgraded version of ChatGPT, initially rolled out in May 2023, soon collapsed due to concerns over bypassing online paywalls. However, the upgraded version was re-launched with the feature re-instated into the system. OpenAI gradually made advancements by respecting website permissions, eventually proving beneficial for all stakeholders.
