Baidu's AI video model MuseSteamer is here: 5 wild video samples
After Google's Veo 3 and OpenAI's Sora showed the world how AI can generate hyperrealistic videos from text prompts, Chinese AI companies seem to be catching up. Chinese search giant Baidu recently launched its first video generation model, MuseSteamer. This model is the first AI video generation tool that generates videos with synchronised Chinese audio. The model allows users to generate visuals, sound effects, and spoken Chinese dialogue simultaneously. Reportedly, this is beneficial for advertisers, marketers, and anyone who wants to make high-quality videos without spending millions in production costs or working through extended timelines. The MuseSteamer is essentially a business-only AI tool which turns images into short videos. Baidu has also upgraded its search offerings by making them smarter, multimodal, and more personalised. MuseSteamer is a Vision Language Model (VLM), which is a type of AI model that comes with the combined capabilities of computer vision and natural language processing. VLMs allow machines to understand and process information through images and texts, and they also let them perform tasks that require the combined understanding of visual and text data. MuseSteamer is capable of creating 10-second clips in 1080p resolution with fully synced visuals, spoken dialogue and sound effects. Those who got to try Baidu's MuseSteamer seem to be raving about the outputs of the model. Here are some stunning video samples shared by X users.

With its latest offering Baidu seems to be aiming to outpace giants like Google, OpenAI, and even Runway in this segment.

Watch out, Google! Chinese Baidu just got a massive AI update
Baidu, one of the popular search engines in China, has introduced a new AI tool that converts images into short videos, and it has also upgraded its main search engine to include enhanced AI features. This announcement, made by Baidu on Wednesday, signals the company's intention to strengthen its position in the competitive AI market, particularly against domestic rivals such as ByteDance, Tencent, and Alibaba, all of which are expanding their AI capabilities.

This new AI tool can generate videos up to 10 seconds long from still images. Baidu has released three versions: Turbo, Pro, and Lite, which likely offer different balances between speed, video quality, and computing needs. Unlike OpenAI's Sora, which targets general consumers, MuseSteamer is designed specifically for businesses. Baidu has not yet released a version for individual creators or the public. The tool aims to support industries such as digital marketing, gaming, e-commerce, and content creation, where short videos play a role in advertising, demonstrations, or early-stage creative work.

Baidu launches AI video generator, overhauls search features
China's Baidu on Wednesday launched an AI-driven video generator for businesses as well as a major upgrade to its search engine. The image-to-video model , called MuseSteamer , is capable of generating videos up to 10 seconds long and comes in three versions - Turbo, Pro and Lite. Over the past year, artificial intelligence heavyweights like OpenAI and big global tech companies have been expanding beyond chatbots to text-to-video or image-to-video generators. In China, ByteDance, Tencent and Alibaba have also launched models. While many rival products, including OpenAI's Sora, target consumers with subscription plans, Baidu's MuseSteamer is aimed only at business users and a consumer app is not yet available. The search engine overhaul includes a redesigned search box that accepts longer queries and supports voice and image-based searches. The platform also displays more targeted content using Baidu's AI technology. Baidu has faced increasing pressure as AI-based chatbots such as ByteDance's Doubao and Tencent's Yuanbao become more popular.

Baidu responds to Sora and other rivals with MuseSteamer and AI-enhanced search features
Chinese tech firm Baidu has unveiled a new artificial intelligence-powered video generation tool, MuseSteamer, alongside a significant update to its core search engine, as the company attempts to maintain relevance in an increasingly crowded AI landscape. The newly launched MuseSteamer model enables users to create short video clips, up to ten seconds in length, from still images. It comes in three variants: Turbo, Pro and Lite, each tailored to different levels of performance and processing capacity. However, unlike competitors offering consumer-facing tools, Baidu's model is currently restricted to business use, with no immediate plans for a public-facing version. The release comes as global and Chinese firms alike continue to shift focus from conversational AI towards more complex media-generation models. In China, Baidu joins a growing list of companies including ByteDance, Tencent and Alibaba that have introduced their own AI-driven video tools. In addition to the video generator, Baidu has overhauled its search engine interface. The updated platform now allows longer and more complex search inputs and integrates voice and image-based queries. The search results are curated using Baidu's proprietary AI technology to deliver more refined content. The company has been under mounting pressure from domestic rivals, with ByteDance's Doubao and Tencent's Yuanbao AI chatbots gaining ground in popularity. Baidu's latest moves suggest a strategic pivot aimed at addressing both technological shifts and competitive threats within China's rapidly evolving AI sector. Earlier in March this year, Baidu has announced the release of two new artificial intelligence (AI) models. The Chinese technology giant introduced Ernie 4.5, a foundation model that builds upon its predecessor, and Ernie X1, a reasoning-focused AI designed for deep thinking. Notably, Baidu has also made its AI-powered chatbot, Ernie Bot, free for users, eliminating any premium charges. In its official statement, Baidu confirmed that Ernie 4.5 became accessible via the chatbot platform. (With inputs from Reuters)
