Overview
ERNIE 5 is Baidu’s next-gen general model for reasoning, coding, and multimodal understanding. It supports long context, tool and function calling, reliable JSON, streaming, and enterprise guardrails, making it a strong default for RAG, agents, and document or chart analysis.
Description
ERNIE 5 advances the ERNIE line with steadier step-by-step reasoning, cleaner instruction following, and tighter integration with retrieval so answers can be grounded in your data. It keeps long conversations and multi-document prompts coherent, translates natural language specs into working code with clear explanations, and accepts images alongside text in VLM configurations for layout-aware OCR, charts, screenshots, and photo understanding. For production it streams tokens for responsive apps, emits schema-true JSON for automation, and calls tools to search, execute functions, or validate fields in loop. Alignment and safety controls emphasize predictable, brand-safe behavior, with configurable policies and audit-friendly traces. Teams typically deploy ERNIE 5 as the primary engine for knowledge copilots, analytics explainers, and repo-aware code assistants, routing only the hardest prompts to heavier tiers when extra deliberation is required.
