It is often said that pioneers get arrows in their back. That seems to be the case for Baidu, which was an early mover in the AI space in China. In an exclusive story, SCMP reported that Baidu was streamlining AI operations following a loss-making quarter, despite reporting a 50 per cent jump in AI-related revenue in the period.

The company is axing staff in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, affecting multiple major business units, according to employees.

You’re only as good as your last model: Baidu’s newly released Ernie 5.0 #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖  model failed to impress the market, sending shares of the Chinese Internet giant lower after the product’s unveiling. Hailed by its progenitor for offering “comprehensive multimodal understanding and generation” thanks to a “fully upgraded foundational abilities,” Baidu finds itself in a similar place to OpenAI in the wake of GPT-5. The ChatGPT maker’s most recent model refresh brought better technology to market, but failed to wow its backer and competitors as much as it had hoped.
