⚙️ The Big Drop

Baidu just shook the AI world.
Their new open-source multimodal model claims to outperform GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro — and it’s free for commercial use.

“ERNIE 4 Vision” isn’t just a text model — it sees, reasons, and builds like a hybrid between Gemini and Claude Sonnet.
It’s designed for developers who want full-stack control of their AI workflows without paying OpenAI-scale costs.

🧠 What Makes It Different📊

28 B parameters, but activates only ~3 B per task for faster performance.
Handles images + text + documents natively — perfect for agent workflows, RAG, or AI research tools.
Apache 2.0 License → ✅ commercial use ✅ custom fine-tuning ✅ no API lock-ins.
Beats GPT-4 Turbo on OCR, visual reasoning, and multi-document understanding tasks.

📊 Benchmark Results: ERNIE vs The World

Baidu backed up its claims with serious data — the model doesn’t just compete, it beats Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 High in 10 of 15 benchmarks.

🚀 ERNIE 4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking outperforms Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 High in most STEM, chart-understanding, and video-reasoning tasks — while remaining a compact, efficient model.

Highlights from the chart:

🧮 MathVista: 82.5 vs 82.7 (Gemini 2.5 Pro) and 81.3 (GPT-5 High)
📈 DocQA (var): 95.3 — highest among all three models
📊 Chart QA / A1D: ERNIE leads both Gemini and GPT-5 by > 3 points
🧩 Average score: ERNIE 73.1 → Gemini 70.3 → GPT-5 69.4

In short: ERNIE 4 Vision isn’t just open — it’s competitive at the very top.
