[Robin Li Sets Goal for Wenxin: Return to the Top Tier of Foundational Models] Beating AI Newsflash: Baidu founder and CEO Robin Li stated during the latest earnings call that the company aims to accelerate the iteration of the Wenxin foundational model, with the goal of bringing Wenxin 'back to the top tier of foundational models.' He acknowledged that as one of the earliest companies in China to invest in foundational models, Baidu has experienced some 'trial and error' along the way, but it will continue to allocate resources to expedite Wenxin's development. Robin Li believes that the competition in foundational models is far from settled, with different models surpassing others in specific capabilities every few months. Moving forward, Baidu will continue to invest resources into Wenxin, while also reorganizing its structure, recruiting top AI talent, and accelerating model updates. However, Baidu does not aim for Wenxin to lead in every capability. Robin Li stated that the company will prioritize strengthening the capabilities most needed by Baidu, including AI search, digital humans, Xiaodu, and general-purpose agents. Feedback generated from these products will then be used to further train Wenxin. [Original Article Link]
