Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported that Baidu plans to launch a new reasoning model before the end of August 2025, aiming to cope with the increasingly fierce market competition, especially against tech giants such as DeepSeek and Open. This new model will have stronger capabilities, able to handle more complex tasks, providing users with more efficient services.

Baidu will also release the latest version of its core large model "Wenxin" — Wenxin 5.0 in the coming months. As an important product in Baidu's artificial intelligence field, the Wenxin series has always attracted attention. In March last year, Baidu released the "strongest" Wenxin large model 4.5, which performed excellently, especially in multi-modal understanding and text logical reasoning. Test results showed that its performance exceeded similar products GPT4.5, and the API call price was only 1% of that of GPT4.5. The Wenxin large model X1 is comparable to DeepSeek-R1 in performance, and it has multi-modal and multi-tool calling capabilities, with an API call price of only half of R1.

The release of this new reasoning model and Wenxin 5.0 indicates Baidu's continuous innovation and development in the AI field. Despite the intensifying market competition, Baidu clearly does not intend to slow down, but rather accelerate its layout, striving to improve product performance and meet users' growing needs. In the future, with the launch of the new model, users will be able to experience more intelligent and efficient AI services.

Baidu's new products will further consolidate its leading position in the artificial intelligence field and bring more convenience and possibilities to users.
