ERNIE Bot
文心一言
ERNIE Bot (文心一言) is Baidu's large language model product, launched on March 16, 2023 as the first major domestic response to ChatGPT . It entered a rapidly crowding field: by July 2023, China already had over 80 large models with 10 billion or more parameters, including Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, iFlytek's Spark, and offerings from Meituan, Baichuan Intelligence, and Yunzhisheng . In the view of Linear Capital, which tracked the "hundred-model war" as it unfolded, ERNIE Bot's arrival signaled that "finding or becoming China's OpenAI" had become the central question for the country's tech industry . A year after its launch, when Moonshot AI's Kimi Chat first appeared, ERNIE Bot remained one of only two comparable products on the market .

Recently, Bai Zeren, Senior Investment Director at Linear Capital, sat down with *Jazzyear* to share his views on the entrepreneurial opportunities brought by ChatGPT. When it comes to the domestic market for large language model startups, Linear Capital remains optimistic. "While the engineering detours and challenges will take time to work through, the probability of Chinese companies producing something with 80% of ChatGPT's capabilities within two to three years is quite high — even if surpassing what OpenAI has already built will be difficult."
