Baidu’s Ernie bot: More details
Li launched the Ernie bot on March 16 as China’s answer to ChatGPT which is developed by US-based OpenAI. During the announcement, Li gave a presentation and walked the viewers through a series of pre-recorded demos. These demos displayed the various capabilities of the AI chatbot.
Later, a Baidu spokesperson shared a few more images of the Ernie bot in a group on China’s most widely used messaging service, WeChat. These images showed the Chinese chatbot has a wider range of skills than the version that was launched earlier this year.
Since the launch, the Ernie Bot and other products powered by the company’s generative AI LLM have remained in trial mode. However, Baidu invited a select number of companies and users to test the products and provide feedback.
