In a blog post, Baidu announced the new iteration of its foundation model to version 3.5. “Ernie 3.5 has made significant strides in beta testing, surpassing ChatGPT (3.5) in comprehensive ability scores and outperforming GPT-4 in several Chinese language capabilities,” according to China Science Daily.
These improvements are evident in creative writing, Q&A, reasoning, and code generation, as well as in training performance and inference performance, said Dr Haifeng Wang, CTO of Baidu.
“Any applications involving language, text, or code can potentially utilise Ernie Bot,” said Dr. Wang. He elaborated that many applications are already using Ernie Bot, spanning fields such as smart offices, coding, marketing, media, education, and finance. According to the blog post, Baidu’s smart work platform, Infoflow, has unveiled several new features such as “smart summary”, “smart insights”, and “super assistant”, all derived from Ernie Bot.
According to Baidu, plugins are one of the highlights of Ernie 3.5One defining feature of ERNIE 3.5 is plugins. There is a default plugin for Baidu Search and there’s another ChatFile plugin that enables long text summary and Q&A. “Ernie 3.5 expands the model’s capabilities through plugins,” Dr. Wang explained.
The company also said that Ernie Bot will add more plugins from Baidu as well as third parties. “We are also committed to opening the plugin ecosystem to third-party developers, empowering them to build unique applications based on Ernie,” the company said.
