Baidu open-sources ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview, which coded a wuxia game for 11 hours straight
xiaohu · x · 2026-11-11
Baidu released ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview as an open-source model focused on coding and agent capabilities, with up to 1M-token context so files, tool outputs, and prior edits stay in one task.
Demo highlights: it built a third-person wuxia game (《云岫行》) on Unreal Engine 5.8, coding for 11 straight hours, merging cross-version assets and handling core logic in C++; when playtesters found characters floating, it turned feedback into runnable tests (e.g., checking foot-to-ground distance). It can also script camera work synced to music and build editable 3D models in Blender.
ERNIE's week: Base open-sourced on the 5th, ERNIE Evolve speedup results on the 9th, post-trained Preview on the 11th.
