BEIJING, April 1,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888), a leading AI company with
strong Internet foundation, will host its annual flagship AI
developer conference Baidu Create on April 16th at the Shenzhen World
Exhibition and Convention Center.
Under the theme "Create the Future", this year's Baidu Create is
set to unveil a series of stunning AI advancements, including new
ERNIE models and development toolkits. The event will also
delve into first-hand best practices, enabling more developers to
build best-in-class AI-native applications with greater ease.
Robin Li, Co-founder, Chairman
and CEO of Baidu, will deliver a keynote speech, his first major
public speech of 2024. Li will explore how Baidu empowers AI
developers with increasingly versatile and easy-to-use models and
tools to build a stronger and more dynamic AI ecosystem.
Baidu believes that the key to "industry applications" of
foundation models is integrating general AI capabilities of
foundation models with industry expertise for specific domains. As
Li puts it, this entails "combining a foundation model as the
smarter AI base with specialized small models that can respond
faster at lower cost."
Li will further introduce Baidu's newly launched lightweight
models, including ERNIE Speed, ERNIE Light and ERNIE Tiny, with
demos showcasing the optimal combination use of large and
lightweight models for faster response at lower inference cost.
In addition, Li will explore Baidu's three AI toolkits for agent
development, AI application development and model customization.
These toolkits allow people without programming expertise to create
AI applications. As Li stated previously, "Everyone can create.
There won't be such a job as a programmer in the future. As long as
you can speak, you will be able to 'create' like a programmer."
Other speakers of this year's Baidu Create will include:
- Dr. Haifeng Wang, Chief
Technology Officer of Baidu
- Dr. Dou Shen, Executive
Vice President of Baidu and President of AI Cloud Group
- Jackson He, Senior
Corporate Vice President of Baidu and General Manager of Mobile
Ecosystem Group
- Dr. Ying Li, Corporate
