At the Baidu Create Developer Conference held on April 25th, Baidu founder Robin Li unveiled the latest Wenxin large model series – Wenxin 4.5 Turbo and X1 Turbo. These new models boast significant optimizations in speed and cost, marking a further breakthrough for Baidu in the field of artificial intelligence.
Reportedly, Wenxin 4.5 Turbo shows a remarkable speed increase and higher processing efficiency compared to its predecessors, while its price has dropped by a full 80%. Specifically, the input cost is only 0.8 yuan per million tokens, and the output cost is 3.2 yuan, which is just 40% of the price of its competitor, DeepSeek-V3. This cost-effectiveness will undoubtedly attract more businesses and developers.
The newly released models not only offer price advantages but also boast enhancements in multi-modal processing, logical reasoning, and coding capabilities. Wenxin 4.5 Turbo's improved multi-modal capabilities mean it can more effectively handle different forms of information, such as text and images, and perform more complex logical reasoning, greatly expanding its application scenarios.
Meanwhile, Wenxin X1 Turbo has seen significant improvements in thinking depth and tool-calling capabilities. Compared to Wenxin X1, this model features a longer chain of thought, allowing for more in-depth analysis and consideration. Its input price is 1 yuan per million tokens, and the output price is 4 yuan, a 50% reduction from the previous version. These improvements make it easier for developers to innovate and develop using this model, lowering costs and the barrier to entry.
In summary, the release of Wenxin 4.5 Turbo and X1 Turbo not only demonstrates Baidu's deep accumulation in AI technology but also provides businesses with more powerful tools for developing intelligent applications. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, Baidu undoubtedly plays a vital role in promoting the popularization and application of artificial intelligence.
