Baidu is intensifying its competition in the AI market against Alibaba and DeepSeek by launching new models and significantly reducing prices. The company unveiled its Ernie 4.5 Turbo and Ernie X1 Turbo models, cutting prices by 80% and 50%, respectively. Baidu also introduced an AI agent platform, Xinxiang, to automate tasks and enhance developer connectivity with its search engine. Despite being an early player in AI, Baidu has struggled to keep pace with rivals. Meanwhile, Alibaba continues to dominate the cloud market and has launched affordable AI tools.
