Baidu claims chatbot Ernie is 'on par' with GPT-4

According to SCMP , Baidu CEO Robin Li Yanhong said Ernie Bot is capable of understanding complex questions, creating images and processing calculations.

Baidu claims Ernie Bot's generalization ability is not inferior to GPT-4

Li said Baidu’s chatbot has significantly improved its ability to understand, reason, recall, and remember. Ernie Bot can create car ads in minutes, solve complex math problems, and create the plot for a martial arts novel. Although it operates primarily in Chinese, the chatbot can handle queries and respond in English.

The lack of official releases of ChatGPT and Bard AI in China has left the AI ​​race here without foreign companies. In 2023, Chinese companies launched more than 100 large language models (LLMs). Chinese tech giants such as Baidu, Alibaba, Vivo, and Oppo are taking advantage of the opportunity to promote their own AI products. To avoid falling into the regulatory spotlight, these chatbots are all designed to avoid sensitive questions. The Chinese government has proposed using a blacklist system to block data used to train LLMs, of which more than 5% contain illegal content.

When asked about sensitive topics, Ernie Bot will end the conversation by suggesting another topic of conversation, the Baidu CEO said.

In June, Baidu claimed that Ernie Bot 3.5 "beat" OpenAI's GPT 3.5 in several tests, specifically on questions and topics in Chinese. Baidu first announced Ernie's beta in March, then officially launched it to the public in August after receiving approval from the Chinese government. Baidu CTO Wang Haifeng revealed that Ernie Bot is currently used by 45 million users and 54,000 developers.
