Baidu co-founder Robin Li has used the example of a Tang dynasty poetry meter to demonstrate what he says is ERNIE 4.0’s superiority to OpenAI’s GPT-4 on Chinese language tasks.
Details: In the same interview, the CEO did acknowledge that ERNIE lags “a little bit behind” GPT in understanding English, as it hasn’t been trained on as much English language data.
However, comparison is inevitable, and Chinese companies focusing on AI products have always benchmarked their products against OpenAI’s models.
Such comparisons have often drawn scorn on Chinese social media, with Baidu itself often suffering in comparison to ChatGPT’s innovative progress.
Li was speaking ahead of the one year anniversary of Baidu’s ERNIEbot, which launched on March 16 2023.
