Baidu · text, image → text

ERNIE-4.5-300B-A47B is a large language model developed by Baidu based on a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture. The model has a total of 300 billion parameters, but only activates 47 billion parameters per token during inference, which balances strong performance with computational efficiency. As one of the core models in the ERNIE 4.5 series, it demonstrates outstanding capabilities in tasks such as text understanding, generation, reasoning, and programming. The model employs an innovative multimodal heterogeneous MoE pretraining approach, leveraging joint training of textual and visual modalities to effectively enhance the model’s overall abilities, particularly excelling in instruction following and world knowledge memorization. Baidu has open-sourced this model along with other models in the series, aiming to promote the research and application of AI technology.
