Baidu Open-Sources ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview: Coded a Wuxia Game for 11 Hours Straight
xiaohu · x · 2026-11-11
Baidu released the open-source ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview, with major upgrades to coding and agent capabilities, especially in programming and 3D modeling.
- Long-horizon task: built a third-person wuxia game Yunxiu Xing on Unreal Engine 5.8, writing code continuously for 11 hours, merging cross-version assets and implementing core logic in C++. When playtesting revealed issues like floating characters, the model turned feedback into runnable tests (e.g., checking foot-to-ground distance).
- Multimodal tooling: can script camera shots and music beats via code, call rendering tools to output a finished video, and create editable 3D models in Blender.
- 1M token context: files read, tool outputs, and prior edit history all stay within the same task.
ERNIE's release cadence has accelerated: Base open-sourced on the 5th for further training, ERNIE Evolve speedup results on the 9th, and the post-trained Preview on the 11th.
