Baidu announced earlier at the Baidu World 2024 event in Shanghai that the number of users of its artificial intelligence model ERNIE has reached 4.3 million. It also announced the launch of the "Free Canvas" artificial intelligence creation tool by combining Baidu Wenku with Baidu Netdisk service, allowing users to more conveniently collect various types of information for creation. In addition, it also launched artificial intelligence glasses under the Xiaodu brand.
In the "Free Canvas" artificial intelligence creation tool section, Baidu claims to challenge the more free document aggregation and content reorganization creation experience. It claims that this tool can more conveniently aggregate information content from various sources, and use artificial intelligence technology to filter, organize, and extract key information, thereby combining and creating new content, allowing users to complete content organization or rewriting tasks in a more efficient way.
The artificial intelligence glasses launched by the Xiaodu brand weigh only 45 grams and have a battery life of about 5 hours for continuous music listening. They are equipped with Baidu's artificial intelligence model Wenxin Yiyan and can interact through natural speech. They can also use the 1600-megapixel camera to capture the scene in front of them, and then the artificial intelligence assistant will analyze and describe it, or use it for purposes such as playing music and tracking calorie consumption.

Elsewhere, Baidu has also launched an automatic image generation tool called iRAG, which claims to be able to create user-described image content in a more realistic manner. It has also launched a coding-free tool called "Miaoda," which allows users to quickly build application services by oral description. It is expected to be available in the first quarter of next year.
In addition to stating that Wenxin Yiyan currently has over 4.3 million cumulative users and over 15 billion accesses per day, Baidu CEO Robin Li also stated that the Wenxin Intelligent Platform is currently used by over 15 companies and 80 developers, and that over half of China's state-owned enterprises use Baidu Cloud to build artificial intelligence models.
