The announcements—alongside Baidu's Ernie 5.0 and Z.ai's GLM 4.7—feature agentic and multimodal video-generation claims, open-source distribution, and promotions to drive user adoption. The moves aim to compete with U.S. rivals while expanding usage in emerging markets and integrating AI into consumer apps.
