Deepseek Accelerates AI Industry Competition, with OpenAI and Baidu Joining the Free Offering Trend

February 13, 2025

The rise of "Deepseek" has intensified competition in the AI sector, prompting key players like OpenAI and Baidu to adapt. OpenAI announced it will skip the release of its o3 model, directly launching GPT-4.5 and GPT-5, focusing on model unification. Similarly, Baidu revealed that its AI model Wenxin Yiyen will become fully free starting April 1, alongside a new deep search feature. These moves reflect the growing trend towards accessible, no-cost AI offerings as companies respond to the evolving competitive landscape.
