Baidu says its search engine retrains itself on real queries and feedback without human tuning; prices enhanced search AI API at 4.9 yuan per 1,000 calls through year-end (report)
Verified (fact)
According to Pandaily, Baidu said its search engine retrains itself based on real search queries and user feedback without separate human tuning. Baidu is also selling an enhanced search AI API at 4.9 yuan per 1,000 calls until December 31.
Needs fact-check (claim)
The search engine improves itself through real-time feedback without human tuning (Baidu's claim, according to the report).
Why it matters (interpretation)
Agents call search APIs heavily, so per-call pricing significantly affects agent operating costs. It signals that a Chinese search provider is cutting prices temporarily to win demand from agent developers.
