Yet, the large language model, Ernie, has struggled to get widespread adoption in multiple places. Even more so, Baidu has stated that its current version also matches OpenAI’s GPT-4 capabilities.
It is also worth mentioning that in China, Byte Dance's Doubao chatbot has the most active monthly users, summing up to 78,6 million. On the other hand, DeepSeek has 33,7 million users, while Ernie Bot has 13 million users according to data from AI product tracker Aicpb.com.
Baidu also stated in a WeChat post “We will gradually launch the Ernie 4.5 series in the coming months and officially open-source it from June 30,”, he also added, “If you open things up, a lot of people will be curious enough to try it. This will help spread the technology much faster,", reported Reuters.
