At the launch event of the Baichuan-M3 model held today, Wang Xiaochuan, the founder and CEO of Baichuan Intelligence, officially unveiled the new-generation open-source, healthcare-enhanced large language model—Baichuan-M3. This model has showcased remarkable performance across multiple evaluations, securing the top position and even outperforming OpenAI's GPT-5.2 as well as human doctors in certain metrics. Wang Xiaochuan reflected on the skepticism faced during the company's inception in 2023, yet underscored that the era of AI has indeed arrived. He highlighted that the emergence of DeepSeek in 2025 has significantly boosted doctors' acceptance of AI technologies. With major tech players like OpenAI and Anthropic stepping into the healthcare domain, AI-driven healthcare has officially entered the application phase, becoming one of the mainstream applications of AI. Furthermore, using Ant Group's "Afu" as a case in point, he illustrated how healthcare, as a pivotal application area within AI, is steadily weaving itself into the fabric of people's daily lives.
