Chinaā€™s Baidu launches two new AI models as industry competition heats up

Baidu, one of Chinaā€™s leading tech companies, has launched two new artificial intelligence models to strengthen its position in the AI industry. One of these models, ERNIE X1, focuses on reasoning and is said to perform as well as DeepSeek R1 but at half the cost. Baidu claims it has strong capabilities in understanding, planning, and self-improvement. The second model, ERNIE 4.5, is an advanced AI system with better language skills, logic, memory, and multimodal abilities, meaning it can process text, images, video, and audio. Baidu also says it has ā€œhigh EQā€ (emotional intelligence) and can understand internet memes and satire. Despite being an early player in AI chatbots in China, Baidu has faced challenges in gaining widespread adoption for its AI models due to intense competition.

Google adds its voice model Chirp 3 to its Vertex AI platform

Google is adding Chirp 3, its latest speech-to-text and text-to-speech model, to Vertex AI next week. It introduces 8 new voices in 31 languages for use in voice assistants, audiobooks, and more, with safeguards to prevent misuse. This move comes as competitors like Sesame and ElevenLabs push AI voice innovations. Chirp 3 joins Googleā€™s Gemini, Imagen, and Veo 2 models, with DeepMindā€™s CEO emphasizing this as a long-term effort.


Apple Overpromised on AI Siri and Its Staff Is Not Happy About it

Apple recently announced a delay in its plans to add AI-powered features to Siri, which was supposed to be a key selling point of the iPhone 16. The news caused Appleā€™s stock to drop and left the Siri team frustrated. According to Bloomberg, Robby Walker, a senior leader in Appleā€™s Siri division, addressed the team, acknowledging their disappointment and the tough questions they might face from friends and family. The delay is especially embarrassing because Apple had already been running ads promoting these AI features, promising theyā€™d arrive by June. Now, those features wonā€™t be available as planned, leaving both the Siri team and Appleā€™s marketing efforts in an awkward position.


Google's AI model 'Gemini 2.0 Flash' is said to be able to remove watermarks from images

Googleā€™s latest AI model, Gemini 2.0 Flash, has raised concerns after social media users discovered it can remove watermarks from images, including those from stock photo websites like Getty Images. This feature, intended for image generation and editing, doesnā€™t just erase watermarks but also fills in the missing details with impressive accuracy. While other AI tools can do this, Gemini 2.0 Flash appears to be particularly effectiveā€”and free to use. However, itā€™s currently labeled as ā€œexperimentalā€ and meant only for developers in Google's AI Studio. Despite its capabilities, the model struggles with complex or semi-transparent watermarks, but its potential misuse has sparked debates about copyright and AI ethics.
