On November 12, at the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026, Baidu founder Li Yanhong said that the big model industry is developing along two paths: one is to break through upward and push the upper limit of intelligence; the other is to take root in the real world and unleash the value of the industry. “We are moving forward in both directions of development, the big model. On the one hand, we will continue to invest in developing the next generation of more advanced basic models. On the other hand, we will adhere to the concept of 'model parallelism and co-evolution' so that large models can be optimized for application.” On the same day, Baidu released two Wenxin application models: Wenxin Lightning Deep Thinking Model and Wenxin's Microscopic Expression Big Model, which simultaneously launched the Baidu Smart Cloud Qianfan platform to open API services for enterprise customers and partners.
