At the Create Developer Conference, Baidu's founder, Robin Li, introduced ERNIE Bot 4.5 Turbo to the world. He envisioned a future where multimodality will become a cornerstone of foundational AI models, as the market for purely text-based models dwindles and the realm of multimodal models thrives. Compared to its predecessor, ERNIE Bot 4.5, the new 4.5 Turbo boasts enhanced speed and affordability, marking an 80% price reduction. Specifically, it offers an input cost of 0.8 yuan and an output cost of 3.2 yuan per million tokens, representing a mere 40% of the costs associated with DeepSeek-V3. Furthermore, ERNIE Bot 4.5 Turbo has excelled in numerous benchmark tests, achieving an impressive average score of 77.68, surpassing GPT-4's score of 72.76.
