Baidu said in a statement on Tuesday that Ernie 3.5, the latest version of the Ernie Bot model, has surpassed "ChatGPT in overall competency scores" and outperformed OpenAI's GPT-4 big language model "in several competencies".

The Beijing-based company cited an experiment conducted by the Chinese newspaper China Science Daily using datasets including AGIEval and C-Eval, two standards used to evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Baidu's announcement comes as the global buzz surrounding AI, spearheaded by ChatGPT, has spread to China, prompting a number of Chinese companies to announce competing products.
Baidu was the first major Chinese tech company to launch an AI product to compete with ChatGPT when it announced Ernie Bot in March. Ernie Bot, built on Baidu's older Ernie 3.0 AI model, has been tested only by invited users for the past three months.
Other major Chinese technology companies, including Alibaba and Tencent Holdings, have also unveiled their own AI models.
Baidu says its new model offers better, faster, and cheaper inference and training performance in the future. Baidu also says its new model will support external plugins.
Plugins are additional applications that allow Baidu's AI to function in more specific situations, such as summarizing long texts and generating more accurate responses. ChatGPT also rolled out plugin support in March.
