Baidu
百度
In elsewhere's corpus, Baidu shows up mostly as China's legacy search giant trying to stay relevant in the AI era — and lately getting teased for it. Its current push is the AI office agent "Baidu Dazi," which iterated 150 times in five months after its March 2026 launch and hit 6.74 million monthly active users by late August — second in China's AI office agent rankings with 1063% month-on-month growth, behind WorkBuddy's 11.15 million . Satirical outlet 葬AI is harsher, calling Baidu "no longer the B of BAT but the B of 2B," arguing chatbots and office agents are eating Baidu Search's share and dismissing its AI assets as chronically overhyped .
On the investment side, Baidu's strategic arm has been writing checks to buy into the AI wave: it led a $30 million lifeline into LiblibAI at the company's lowest point in 2024 — an earlier $5 million tranche had required product integration with Baidu's mobile app — per elsewhere's own reporting and a 十字路口Crossing debrief ; it also took strategic stakes in recruitment-agent startup TTC in early 2026 and backed AIGC video company CreativeFitting (Jingying Technology) . Beyond that, Baidu Intelligent Cloud joined ByteDance's Volcano Engine, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud in opening cloud services to OpenClaw , and Baidu integrated DeepSeek R1 into its products in 2025 .
