We've just unveiled ERNIE 4.5 & X1! 🚀

As a deep-thinking reasoning model with multimodal capabilities, ERNIE X1 delivers performance on par with DeepSeek R1 at only half the price. Meanwhile, ERNIE 4.5 is our latest foundation model and new-generation native multimodal model.

Plus, our AI chatbot ERNIE Bot has now been made free to individual users ahead of schedule. Both models are now freely accessible to all ERNIE Bot users via its official website: yiyan.baidu.com. ERNIE 4.5 achieves collaborative optimization through joint modeling of multiple modalities, exhibiting comprehensive improvements in understanding, generation, reasoning and memory, along with notable enhancements in hallucination prevention, logical reasoning, and coding abilities.
