These numbers are more than just statistics. They reflect a growing reliance on AI tools in everyday life and work. From drafting codes to planning trips, ERNIE Bot is reshaping how we approach tasks that were once time-consuming and complex. It’s a testament to the evolving relationship between humans and technology, where AI is no longer just an assistant but a collaborator.

With over 10.7 million developers and 235,000 enterprises using it to create 860,000 models, PaddlePaddle is at the forefront of AI innovation.

The rise in ERNIE Bot’s popularity, combined with the continuous improvements in the ERNIE Foundation Model, signals a significant shift in AI’s role in our lives. As these tools become more integrated into various sectors, we can expect to see more groundbreaking changes, simplifying tasks and opening new possibilities for innovation and efficiency.
