China's Biggest Public AI Drop Since DeepSeek, Baidu's Open Source Ernie, Is About to Hit the Market
- Baidu is publicly releasing its Ernie AI model for the first time today, becoming the first leading Chinese AI company to share its proprietary technology openly.
- The rollout follows Baidu's February announcement of a gradual open-source plan amid a wider shift triggered by competitors like DeepSeek last year.
- The offering includes 10 variants from Ernie 4.5 models and aims to provide developers with core access, though it remains unclear if the release is full or partial.
- Sean Ren, an associate professor at USC, noted that when leading laboratories release influential models as open-source, it elevates industry standards and intensifies competition for companies like OpenAI.
- This move could reshape global AI dynamics by democratizing access, though whether Ernie matches DeepSeek-R1's market impact remains uncertain.
