Investing.com -- Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) is planning to release a new reasoning model by the end of August that will be able to handle more complex tasks, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Chinese tech company is also preparing to introduce Ernie 5.0, an updated version of its core foundation model, in the coming months, the same source revealed.
This development comes after Baidu released its first reasoning model in March. The company was the pioneer among major Chinese tech firms in launching a ChatGPT-like chatbot, which it named Ernie Bot.
The new initiatives appear to be part of Baidu’s strategy to compete with rivals such as DeepSeek and OpenAI in the artificial intelligence space.
According to data from aicpb.com, a Chinese website that monitors AI products, Ernie Bot ranked 10th among Chinese AI applications in terms of monthly active users in July.
