Chinese Search Giant Baidu To Release ChatGPT Competitor

According to the agency, Baidu intends to launch a new application, which does not yet have a name, as early as March 2023. The company will build it into its main search services. The tool will work similarly to ChatGPT.

The basis of the system will be Ernie – a large-scale machine learning model that has been tested over the past few years. Baidu’s shares jumped 5.8% on the news that they were building their own chatbot.

The Chinese company has been exploring the topic of artificial intelligence and the possibility of launching AI services for many years. At the same time, millions of dollars were spent on the work. His Ernie system will become the basis of a future tool similar to ChatGPT.
