Baidu has launched two new AI models, ERNIE 4.5 and ERNIE X1, designed to compete with DeepSeek's R1 model. The company is making these models freely accessible to individual users through the ERNIE Bot platform, ahead of the initially planned schedule. ERNIE 4.5 is a multimodal foundation model, integrating text, images, audio, and video to enhance understanding and content generation across various data types. This model demonstrates significant improvements in language understanding, reasoning, and coding abilities.
ERNIE X1 is Baidu's first model specifically designed for complex reasoning tasks, excelling in logical inference, problem-solving, and structured decision-making suitable for applications in finance, law, and data analysis. Baidu claims that ERNIE X1 matches DeepSeek R1’s performance at half the cost. ERNIE 4.5 has shown performance on par with models like DeepSeek-R1, but at approximately half the deployment cost.
