Previously, Baidu announced that Ernie Bot will be completely free starting from midnight on April 1. At that time, users can easily access and experience the latest models in the Ernie series on both PC and mobile app platforms, without any barriers. This change is expected to significantly enhance the user coverage and market penetration of Ernie Bot.

Meanwhile, Ernie Bot has also launched a brand new deep search feature, which will be available for free to all users starting from April 1. This deep search feature, with its exceptional planning and external tool usage capabilities, can provide users with professional-level content responses and effectively address task requirements across various scenarios. Additionally, this feature supports multimodal input and output, offering users a more diverse and convenient search experience. Users can currently get a sneak peek of this feature on the Ernie Bot official website, with the app version set to launch soon.
