Baidu Inc. (BIDU) unveiled major upgrades to its AI offerings, including a new image-to-video generator and the most significant revamp of its search engine in a decade.
The new tool, called MuseSteamer, can generate 10-second video clips from a single image, complete with synchronized visuals, sound effects and dialogue, Baidu said in a statement. The feature will be integrated into its search platform.
The revamped Smart Search Box now supports long-form queries of over 1,000 Chinese characters, accepts multimedia inputs, including images, audio, and video, and connects directly to AI tools for writing and image generation.
Baidu aims to transform its mobile app into an AI assistant capable of helping users with writing, drawing and travel planning, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing a company executive at a press conference.
