Baidu Research introduced ERNIE Evolve, an automated research system for recursive self-improvement. It surpassed the best publicly verified results on three metrics across NanoChat AutoResearch (validation BPP 0.8763 vs public best 0.8878) and both NanoGPT Speedrun tracks (38.9s vs 39.9s; 2590 steps vs 2690), and already contributed to building ERNIE 5.5 Flash — a notable step from RSI demos toward production use.
