Chinese tech leader Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has introduced an upgraded version of its Ernie Bot, which it claims rivals OpenAI's GPT-4 in terms of capabilities.

During a presentation at the Baidu World 2023 conference in Beijing, CEO Robin Li Yanhong showcased the Ernie Bot 4's ability to comprehend complex questions, generate images, and handle basic arithmetic.

According to Li, Ernie Bot has undergone significant improvements in its understanding, prompting, reasoning, and memory. He emphasized that its general abilities are on par with GPT-4.

Still, shares of the company closed 1.65% lower in Hong Kong on Tuesday.

The presentation of a new model comes after the Chinese government issued new guidelines to ensure that AI-generated content aligns with official narratives. Ernie Bot by Baidu, for instance, redirects conversations away from sensitive subjects.

Baidu had previously claimed that Ernie Bot 3.5 outperformed OpenAI's GPT 3.5 in comprehension when it was released in June and even surpassed GPT-4 in certain Chinese-language capabilities.
