Recently, Baidu announced exciting news through its official channels: the Wenxin Large Model 4.5 series will be gradually launched in the coming months, with a formal open-source release scheduled for June 30. As an important part of Baidu's strategy in the field of artificial intelligence, the continuous upgrades and open-sourcing of the Wenxin Large Model signify that more users will be able to experience cutting-edge AI technology.
According to the official website of Wenxin Yiyan, users can currently choose from four different versions of the model: Wenxin Large Model 3.5, Wenxin Large Model 4.0, Wenxin Large Model 4.0 Tool Version, and Wenxin Large Model 4.0 Turbo.
