At the Baidu World Conference on November 13, 2025, Baidu officially launched its latest native multimodal large model — ERNIE Bot 5.0. This model has up to 2.4 trillion parameters and uses native multimodal unified modeling technology, enabling it to understand and generate various types of information such as text, images, audio, and video, demonstrating strong multimodal capabilities.

ERNIE Bot 5.0 excels in areas such as multimodal understanding, instruction following, creative writing, factual accuracy, intelligent agent planning, and tool application. Its comprehension ability, logical reasoning, memory, and persuasiveness have been significantly improved. In over 40 authoritative benchmark tests, ERNIE Bot 5.0's language and multimodal understanding capabilities are comparable to top international models such as Gemini-2.5-Pro and GPT-5-High. Additionally, its image and video generation capabilities have reached world-leading levels in professional fields, fully demonstrating the strength and potential of native multimodal large models.

Li Yanhong, founder of Baidu, stated at the event that large model technology is rapidly evolving, with its intelligence level continuously breaking boundaries. He emphasized that the speed of technological iteration is Baidu's core competitiveness and expressed a commitment to continued investment in developing more advanced intelligent models to enhance overall intelligence levels.

Currently, users can directly experience the functions of ERNIE Bot 5.0 on the ERNIE App, while developers and enterprise users can also call its API services through the Baidu Qianfan Large Model Platform.
