Chinese search engine giant Baidu launched an upgraded version of its AI model, Ernie 4.0 Turbo, to compete in China's AI market. The new model, Ernie 4, was released in October 2023, rivalling OpenAI's GPT-4. Baidu's Chief Technology Officer announced that their AI chatbot, Ernie Bot, now has 300 million users. Baidu also upgraded its PaddlePaddle AI ecosystem, supporting 14.65 million developers and 370,000 businesses. In response to OpenAI blocking access from China, domestic AI firms like Baidu and Alibaba are offering migration services and incentives to attract affected users.
