On September 8, during an internal company gathering, Baidu's founder, Robin Li, conferred the prestigious 'Baidu Supreme Award' upon a technical team. The victorious team was honored with a prize of 1 million US dollars, which translates to over 7 million yuan. Over the course of 15 iterations of this award, cutting-edge AI technologies—including speech recognition, deep learning platforms, and large-scale models—have all been duly acknowledged. The cumulative total of prize money distributed now stands at nearly 400 million yuan.
