baidu releases ernie bot chatbot, for ai solutions -凯发国际娱乐试玩
baidu's ernie bot generated an image with text prompts.
chinese search giant and ai solution provider baidu unveiled its artificial intelligence-powered chatbot on thursday, becoming the first major chinese company to unveil a deep-learning model after chatgpt.
baidu ceo robin li told a press conference in beijing that ernie bot is not a countermeasure against open ai's initiative, but a natural result from its long-term research efforts.
he expected ai-powered models to be a game changer, and would become easily accessible as a format of cloud service for many industries.
more than 30,000 companies have applied to join the test version through application programming interface following the thursday afternoon release.
but baidu's kong-listed shares tumbled as much as 10 percent in the afternoon before closing down 6.4 percent since the functions of ernie bot were presented through pre-recorded videos rather than real-time.
industry watchers said baidu's stock has already climbed high prior to the official announcement, and the current version won't have much significant impact on its earnings in the short term.
