Baidu, Chinaā€™s answer to Google, just dropped Ernie 4.5 and Ernie X1ā€”two AI models with big brains and better jokes.

šŸšØ Breaking News:
Baidu claims Ernie X1 competes with DeepSeek R1 at half the price, while Ernie 4.5 understands memes and sarcasmā€”finally, an AI with humor!

āš” Wire Simplified:

  • Baidu launched two new AI models: Ernie 4.5 (more human-like) and Ernie X1 (better at reasoning).

  • Both models process text, images, video, and audio.

  • DeepSeek R1ā€™s budget-friendly power shook up the AI world, and Baidu wants in on the action.

  • Despite being early in Chinaā€™s AI race, Baidu struggles with adoption.

  • Next-gen Ernie 5 is expected later this year, promising even more upgrades.

āœ”ļø Straight to the Point:
Baidu is doubling down on AI, but with fierce competition and adoption challenges, will Ernieā€™s brains be enough to win the race?

U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan is grilling tech giants like Google and OpenAI, asking if Biden tried to censor speech in AI models.

šŸšØ Breaking News:
Jordan sent letters to 16 companies, demanding proof of government interference in AI content moderation. The deadline? March 27.

āš” Wire Simplified:

  • The House Judiciary Chair is investigating if Biden pressured AI firms to control speech.

  • Tech giants like Apple, OpenAI, and Meta got lettersā€”but Muskā€™s xAI was conveniently left out.

  • Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are already tweaking AI models to appear less biased.

  • Googleā€™s Gemini chatbot avoided political topics even after the 2024 U.S. election.

  • Tech leaders, including Zuckerberg, previously hinted at government pressure on content moderation.

āœ”ļø Straight to the Point:
AI censorship is the new battleground in U.S. politics. But is it about free speechā€”or just another political chess move?
