Baidu, Tencent, all the second rate Chinese labs' models are all benchmaxxed to hell. The main goal of these releases is to show benchmarks to their govt minders

Have you tried Xiaomi's MiMo v2.6? It's remarkably good -- and very weird/idiosyncratic. (For instance, it can compose MIDI-style music directly via the chat app, and it follows instructions much more closely than any other music model. AFAIK nothing else does this.)

I haven't had much experience with ERNIE, but I've been using various different (Chinese) base models of late, and I'm excited to try it.
