According to Baidu's official WeChat account on May 11, "We are at the forefront of the large model, we have to brave the no-man's land, and we need to take risks that no one has taken before." Recently, at an internal awards event for Baidu, Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, pointed out that Baidu has always believed that technology can change the world and will continue to follow this path.

When Robin Li presented the award, he congratulated the winning teams and individuals on the scene and emphasized, "You represent Baidu, you represent the most authentic Baidu, and you are the most authentic representative of Baidu." ”

Robin Li pointed out in his speech that innovation is not easy, "ten innovations, maybe nine of them end in failure, but we will not give up, we will do the 11th, 12th...... I believe that one day, we will prove to the world that technology is valuable. ”

Looking back on the past year, Robin Li said that Wenxin Yiyan was first launched on March 16, 2023, and after continuous iteration of versions 3.5 and 4.0, the basic capabilities of the large model have always been at the forefront of China's large models. Robin Li said that since the reconstruction of all product lines with large models in May 2023, "today, 10% of the big search traffic has been generated through Wenxin Yiyan's model; Today, there are 2.5 million users every day, using the AI capabilities of Wenku. ”

Robin Li said that Baidu is continuously improving the efficiency and effectiveness of large models, reducing the cost and threshold of large models, "so that more and more developers can develop a variety of agents and AI-native applications based on Wenxin Yiyan, so that they can really benefit from it, so that their users and customers can really feel the results brought by AI." ”

On April 16, 2024, Create 2024 Baidu AI Developer Conference was held for the first time in Shenzhen, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In his speech at the main forum, Robin Li once again emphasized that large models themselves do not create value, and AI applications developed based on large models have market value.

Since OpenAI's release of ChatGPT triggered this AI wave, Baidu and Robin Li intend to take the lead in China's AI large model industry, and are the first major manufacturers to release AI large models. However, with the fact that not only Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and other Internet giants have successively released large models last year, but AI large model startups such as Baichuan Intelligence, Dark Side of the Moon, Zhipu AI, and Minimax have also raised huge sums of money and launched their own large models. In this competitive environment, Baidu hopes that the industry will reduce its investment in large models and increase their focus on AI applications based on large models.

Robin Li introduced that the number of users of Baidu Wenxin Yiyan has exceeded 200 million, the average daily API call volume has also exceeded 200 million, the number of customers served has reached 85,000, and the number of AI native applications developed using the Qianfan platform has exceeded 190,000. Robin Li disclosed that 27% of Baidu's code is already written by AI.

In addition, Robin Li also announced, like other AI bigwigs, that "in the future, as long as natural language is used, everyone can be a developer, just like shooting a short video." ”
