🌐 Baidu Open-Sources Ernie Chatbot

Chinese tech giant Baidu has made its Ernie 4.5 family of AI models open source, a strategic move that experts describe as "throwing a Molotov cocktail into the AI world" by providing free access to technology that rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic charge premium prices for.

The Ernie 4.5 family comprises 10 models, with parameter sizes ranging from 3 billion to 424 billion, released under the Apache 2.0 license. The largest model reportedly outperforms its larger closed-source rivals, such as DeepSeek-V3.
