DeepSeek spurs Baidu, other AI competitors to adopt open-source strategy
DeepSeek's release of powerful, low-cost AI models is pushing competitors like Baidu and OpenAI to consider an open-source strategy for AI development. This shift aims to improve efficiency and broaden the adoption of their AI products.
Baidu announced that the next generation of its Ernie LLM will be open source starting June 30, reversing its previous stance favoring closed-source AI development. This decision follows Baidu's move to make its Ernie Bot service free to use from April 1, ending a 17-month monetization effort and reflecting increased competition from companies like DeepSeek and Alibaba in China's AI market.
