According to previous reports by IT Home, Baidu is currently investing heavily in AI. In Baidu's first quarter 2024 earnings call in May, Robin Li revealed that 11% of search results on Baidu Search are generated by AI. In addition, nearly 100,000 companies have used Baidu Wenxin Yiyan's capabilities.
Robin Li is also a supporter of closed-source models. In July this year, he explicitly mentioned, "I think open source is actually a kind of IQ tax." "When you think rationally about what value a large model can bring and at what cost, you will find that you should always choose a closed-source model. Today, closed-source models such as ChatGPT and Wenxin Yiyan are definitely more powerful than open-source models and have lower inference costs."
