Perception Beating AI News Flash: Baidu's founder and CEO, Robin Li, clearly stated in the latest earnings call that they are accelerating the iteration of the Wenxin large model to make Wenxin "return to the forefront of basic models." He acknowledged that Baidu, as one of the first companies in China to invest in basic models, has "experienced trial and error" along the way but will continue to invest resources to speed up Wenxin's iteration.
Robin Li believes that the competition in basic models is far from over, with different models taking the lead in some capabilities every few months. Baidu will continue to invest resources in Wenxin, adjust its organization, bring in top AI talent, and accelerate model updates.
However, Baidu will not pursue Wenxin being the best in all capabilities. Robin Li stated that they will prioritize strengthening the capabilities most needed by Baidu itself, including AI search, digital humans, Xiaodu, and Universal Agent, and then use the feedback from these products to further train Wenxin.
