Robin Li says users pay for agents that get work done

At Baidu Create 2026, Robin Li shifted the emphasis from model competition to agents, applications and the idea of the “super individual.”

Ce qui change

Baidu highlighted DuMate, Miaoda Enterprise and YiJing as agent products for business tasks, coding and digital humans.

Li’s core message was that users care less about whether AI can think and more about whether it can complete work.

Pourquoi c’est important

The challenge is distribution: Baidu is trying to sell agents into customers, while enterprise software rivals already own customer relationships.

À surveiller

Le signal utile n’est pas seulement le chiffre du titre, mais la capacité du produit, du contrat ou du virage de plateforme à se répéter sur les deux prochains trimestres.
