Baidu is preparing for the release of its next-generation artificial intelligence model, and is expected to officially launch the Wenxin version 4.5 in mid-March. The news was reported by Reuters and has attracted widespread attention from the industry. According to internal insiders, the new version will achieve significant capabilities improvement in multiple core areas such as reasoning, marking another important breakthrough for Baidu in artificial intelligence technology.
A notable highlight of Wenxin 4.5 is its enhanced multimodal capability. The system can efficiently process and blend different types of data resources from text, video, images and audio, and achieve seamless conversion across formats. This capability will provide users with a richer and more diverse intelligent experience, further promoting the expansion of application scenarios of artificial intelligence technology.
Baidu has revealed to the public at the beginning of this month that the Wenxin 4.5 series will be released in stages in the next few months, and has clearly set June 30 as the date for full open source. This measure aims to further promote the popularization and application of artificial intelligence technology and promote the healthy development of the entire industry.
Baidu CEO Robin Li emphasized in a recent earnings call that Wenxin 4.5 will be the most powerful model Baidu has built so far. He frankly stated that DeepSeek's success has prompted Baidu to accelerate the promotion of open source strategies in order to broaden the application boundaries of artificial intelligence technology through open cooperation. Li Yanhong's statement further demonstrates Baidu's ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence.
