Baidu Maps V19 will be released on October 17, with new AI interaction and navigation features


Shanghai launched the first foundational large model in the field of planning and resources, "Yuyu Star Sky," with 60 billion parameters that integrate remote sensing, 3D data, drawings, and administrative information, creating an AI urban planner to promote the scientific, refined, and intelligent development of urban governance.
With the application of DeepSeek, Baidu Maps has completed its deep integration with DeepSeek-R1. Users can directly ask questions in the search bar, such as inquiring 'What fun places are there in Zhengzhou?' By selecting the DeepSeek tag, they can receive answers that have been deeply analyzed. These answers not only provide recommended attractions but also include relevant addresses, allowing users to navigate with a click. As a result, the efficiency of obtaining information while using the map has greatly improved. It's worth mentioning that Baidu has become one of the successors to Tencent.
Baidu Maps has launched its brand new version 19.0.0, hailed as the next generation of AI maps. The most striking feature is the AI guide function, allowing users to engage in real conversations with AI. The AI guide function offers free customizable voice packs, enhancing the personalized experience. The new AI map is reconstructed based on the Wenxin large model, enabling multi-turn natural language interactions. Baidu Maps will continue to improve and upgrade in the future, providing users with smarter and more convenient travel services.
The Microsoft Bing Chat update offers improved map navigation response. Users can access real-time traffic information. Bing Chat Enterprise will be added to members of the Windows Insiders program in the Dev and Beta channels.
