About Baidu
Baidu is a Chinese internet company that built its business on search advertising and is now betting its growth on AI. It sells AI cloud services, offers the ERNIE family of large language models, and operates the Apollo autonomous driving platform, including Apollo Go robotaxi rides.
Its AI lineup spans ERNIE Bot, the Apollo autonomous driving platform, Baidu AI Cloud, and PaddlePaddle, its open machine learning framework for developers. Together these cover foundation models, self-driving, and cloud infrastructure in one company.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Beijing, China, Baidu trades on the NASDAQ, is led by CEO Yanhong Li, and employs roughly 33,500 people.
Baidu in the AI buildout
Baidu spans three layers of the buildout: Foundation Models through its ERNIE family, Autonomous Vehicles through Apollo and its robotaxi service, and AI Software & Platforms through Baidu AI Cloud and PaddlePaddle. With its search advertising base in decline, AI is the entire growth thesis, and execution on cloud and autonomy is pivotal. That makes Baidu one of the more direct ways to follow China's AI buildout through a single listed company.
BIDU is tracked in Foundation Models, Autonomous Vehicles and AI Software & Platforms, rated Strategic on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
