Baidu

🔥Baidu Drops Dirt-Cheap AI Models Costs 1% of GPT-4o

China’s AI disruptor is here, and it’s dirt cheap.

Baidu just unleashed two aggressively priced AI models—ERNIE 4.5, a powerhouse upgrade to its foundational model, and ERNIE X1, a deep-thinking AI built for complex reasoning.

The Breakdown:

📌 ERNIE 4.5 flexes enhanced emotional intelligence (EQ), improved hallucination control, better logical reasoning, and top-tier coding skills.

📌 Cost? Just 1% of GPT-4o’s price—about $0.55 per million input tokens and $2.20 per million output tokens.

📌 ERNIE X1, Baidu’s first-ever deep reasoning model, matches China’s leading AI DeepSeek R1 but at half the cost.

📌 Like DeepSeek’s model, ERNIE X1 uses a step-by-step thinking process, excelling in complex calculations and document comprehension.

Why Does This Matter?

China is pushing AI prices to rock-bottom levels. If Baidu’s models really deliver at these rates, Western AI giants may be forced to cut prices, sparking a global AI price war.

For users? Cheaper, more powerful AI is coming—fast. 🚀

• The UK, designed a new road surface paved to eliminate potholes, called Genable Pavement. This innovative technology is self healing Bitumen which is mix in with the Pavement , when the road surface is pressed by passing traffic it squeezes the spores , which releases the oil into nearby cracks, the oil then soften the Bitumen for it to flow and seal nearby cracks.

• Chinese researchers unveiled Zuchongzhi 3.0, a quantum processor that clocks in at one quadrillion times the speed of today's best supercomputers. It can complete calculations that would take traditional machines billions of years in just seconds. With 105 superconducting qubits, the chip rivals Alphabet’s latest Willow QPU — allowing China to stake a claim for quantum supremacy.

• UK startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled plans for Sunbird, a nuclear fusion-powered rocket that can potentially slash travel time to Mars in half. With its Duel Direct Fusion Drive, the spacecraft can produce exhaust speeds of 500,000 mph — one of the fastest propulsion systems ever conceived. Static tests are set for later this year.

• Oracle has introduced agentic AI tools within its Investigation Hub Cloud Service to help financial institutions detect and prevent financial crimes more efficiently. These AI agents automate tasks such as analyzing suspicious activities, matching customer data with sanction lists, and generating detailed reports to assist human investigators.
