SHENZHEN, China, April 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global clean energy leader BLUETTI, unveiled for the first time the complete Intelligent Ecosystem built around its new flagship—the Apex 300, a sustainable and versatile power station. The debut took place during the Media Day of Global Connect Innovation Week hosted by  iMpact Communications, offering global media an exclusive preview of the full accessory lineup that transforms the Apex 300 into a truly all-scenario energy hub.

More than just a product launch, the event fostered real dialogue and meaningful connections with media from around the world—a step forward in BLUETTI’s ongoing mission to make sustainable energy solutions more accessible, versatile, and deeply human-centered.

Innovation—Smarter Ecosystem for Real-World Living

At the event, BLUETTI walked media professionals through real-life use cases powered by its innovative Intelligent Ecosystem—showcasing how the Apex 300 becomes a tailored energy solution across a wide range of scenarios.

• For modern homes, the Hub A1 Parallel Box allows the Apex 300 to scale up with ease—linking up to three units and supporting up to 18 B300K Expansion Batteries for a full week of dependable emergency power. When combined with the Reliance Sub Panel and AT1 Smart Distribution Box, the system unlocks seamless, fully automated whole-home backup while helping reduce electricity bills through peak shaving and load shifting—making clean energy not just reliable, but cost-effective too.
• For outdoor adventures and RV living, BLUETTI’s foldable solar panels are easy to carry, quick to deploy, and work seamlessly with the Apex 300 to capture energy on the go. Taking versatility to the next level, the all-new Hub D1 DC Hub delivers 700W of reliable output—including a secure 600W Anderson port—allowing RVers to power multiple devices at once without overload concerns, making it a perfect companion for the solar generator for RVs.
• For off-grid cabins or homes already equipped with rooftop solar and inverters, the SolarX 4K Solar Charge Controller connects easily with minimal setup required for home battery backup. Even better, it helps the Apex 300 achieve an industry-leading 2-year payback—keeping upfront investment low while delivering maximum long-term value.

Sustainability, Not as a Trend—but as a Foundation

At BLUETTI, sustainability was never a catchphrase—it’s the heart of the brand. From the initial product development to the company’s core values, every step has been grounded in this commitment.

The Apex 300 didn’t emerge from a boardroom brainstorm—it came from listening. Listening to families facing blackouts, to travelers chasing sunrises, and to communities needing power beyond the grid. The vision was simple: create a power solution that goes where people go, adapts when life shifts, and stays with them—year after year.

With just 20W standby power consumption, the Apex 300 Portable Power Station is 40% more efficient than its peers. Inside, it houses a second-generation automotive-grade LFP battery, designed to last up to 17 years. These aren’t just numbers—they’re a sincere promise. A promise that clean energy should be dependable, long-lasting, and always within reach.

In the cloister of the historic building of the University of Barcelona

BARCELONA, Spain, April 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The British brand Vivienne Westwood was the star of the Barcelona Bridal Night, held last night as part of the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week (BBFW). Presenting its 2026 Bridal Collection, the iconic fashion house captivated the more than 450 attendees, offering an unforgettable experience of elegance, rebellion, and romance in what was the first show focused solely on its bridal fashion line.

Simonetta Gianfelici at Vivienne Westoood Barcelona’s Catwalk

The 19th-century historic building of the University of Barcelona was the chosen venue for this special event. Models paraded in 34 made to order and haute couture bridal gowns, walking through the cloister surrounding the central garden, where the blooming orange trees provided a natural backdrop to the show.

Vivienne Westwood’s creative director, Andreas Kronthaler said: “Bridal has always been an important part of the house, since I started working with Vivienne in the early 90s. We are delighted to be showing our first bridal show here in this fantastic city; we took the grandeur of the boulevards and architecture as our first point of inspiration.”

He continued: “The collection is a pot pourri of past, present and future. Corsetry is the foundation; it enhances you and gives you presence. And tailoring – to add a masculine flair.”

“We looked again to our rose print, inspired by the watercolours of 18th century botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. We added orange blossom from the courtyard of the university, a symbol of purity and beauty; subdued and layered with tulle – tender, romantic. Rich jacquard in ‘Absence of roses’ – classical. There is linen and cotton, washed georgette and chiffon, to make things look as if they have been worn time and again. The lightest organza, lots of lace, and pale pink duchesse from Italy. Each character tells a story.”

Andreas concluded: “Simonetta (Gianfelici) wears the Madame de Pompadour gown, inspired by the François Boucher painting (1756), this time in white. Vivienne would have loved it – it was her favourite dress of all time.”

Additionally, from today and until Sunday, the Trade Show will open its doors in Halls 1 and 2 and the Plaza de l’Univers at the Montjuïc venue, with nearly 450 brands offering buyers from around the world a wide range of bridal, groom, party, ceremony, red carpet, and accessory dresses.

• Following the release of two models in mid-March, Baidu unveiled ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and ERNIE X1 Turbo today, which stand out for their multimodal capabilities, strong reasoning, and low costs. ERNIE 4.5 Turbo delivers faster responses while priced at 20% of ERNIE 4.5; ERNIE X1 Turbo, featuring enhanced capabilities, is half the price of ERNIE X1.
• In addition to the models, Baidu also unveiled an array of AI applications, including Xinxiang, a multi-agent collaboration app, enabling full task delivery from a single sentence prompt, as well as highly convincing digital humans.
• Baidu also announced an AI Open Initiative as well as the integration of MCP into some existing products to enable effortless experience for the developers to access and utilize Baidu’s suite of services.

WUHAN, China, April 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888), a leading AI company with a strong internet foundation, today introduced a new suite of AI innovations at its annual developer conference Baidu Create 2025. At the event, Baidu co-founder and CEO Robin Li introduced ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and ERNIE X1 Turbo, the latest two models of the company, along with a series of AI applications and advancements, and committed to empowering developers to fully embrace MCP (Model Context Protocol).

“Our releases aim to empower developers to build the best applications — without having to worry about model capability, costs, or development tools,” Li said in his keynote, addressing an audience of over 5,000 developers and tech enthusiasts. “Without practical applications, neither advanced chips nor sophisticated models hold value. While there will be a multitude of models, it is the applications that will truly dominate in the future. Applications are where true power lies,” Li added.

ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and ERNIE X1 Turbo: Faster and Cheaper

Baidu introduced ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and ERNIE X1 Turbo at Create 2025, both of which feature enhanced multimodal capabilities, strong reasoning, low costs, and are available for users to access on ERNIE Bot now free of charge. The two models were launched to address common pain points in the industry, including single-modality, high-hallucination, slow-response and high-price, Li noted.

ERNIE X1 Turbo is an upgraded deep thinking reasoning model. Featuring a more advanced chain of thought, stronger deep thinking capabilities, and further enhanced multimodal and tool invocation abilities, it excels in Q&A, literary creation, and logical reasoning, outperforming DeepSeek R1 as well as the latest version of V3.

ERNIE X1 Turbo offers improved performance while being priced at half of ERNIE X1, making it only 25% of the price of DeepSeek R1. The input price is RMB 1 per million tokens, and the output price is RMB 4 per million tokens.

ERNIE 4.5 Turbo demonstrates overall progress in hallucination reduction, logical reasoning, and coding abilities, with faster response. The multimodal capabilities of ERNIE 4.5 Turbo are on par with GPT-4.1 and superior to GPT-4o across multiple benchmarks. For ERNIE 4.5 Turbo, the input price is only RMB 0.8 per million tokens, and the output price is RMB 3.2 per million tokens, 80% off the price of ERNIE 4.5, 0.2% of GPT-4.5 and 40% of DeepSeek V3.

Both ERNIE 4.5 Turbo and X1 Turbo have further enhanced their multimodal capabilities. “Multimodality will become a standard feature of future foundation models. The market for pure text-based models will shrink, while the market for multimodal models will continue to grow,” Li predicted in his keynote.

The two models follow the launch of ERNIE 4.5, the company’s first native multimodal foundation model, and ERNIE X1, a multimodal deep-thinking reasoning model capable of tool use, both of which received strong market recognition after their debut on March 16, 2025.

AI Application Frontrunners: Highly Convincing Digital Humans and Multi-agent Tool Xinxiang

The highly convincing digital human is one of the key applications that exemplify the capabilities of multimodality. “AI digital humans are one of the most exciting breakthrough applications in 2025,” Li said in his speech.

Li introduced Baidu’s highly convincing AI digital human, which features ultra-realistic voice and appearance, as well as more professional content-generation and more flexible interactions. Baidu’s Huiboxing, a digital human livestream platform powered by AI, now offers a feature to create a digital human in one click where users can upload a video as short as two minutes before the system can generate a personalized digital human ready to go live.

Over the past year, agents have transitioned from a niche concept to a core field of AI applications. Notably, coding agents have rapidly gained traction, with Baidu offering tools like Comate for code assistance and Miaoda, a no-code platform for multi-agent collaboration. In March, Miaoda was made available to the public, allowing users to generate applications with a single sentence.

“There are nearly 30 million programmers and 8 billion people globally. As technologies become more accessible, everyone can possess the capabilities of a programmer,” said Li.

At the event, Baidu also officially released the multi-agent collaboration app Xinxiang, a “general super agent” capable of solving complex problems for users in a one-stop manner. Currently, Xinxiang covers 200 task types in scenarios such as knowledge-analysis, travel-planning, studying, and office work. In the future, Baidu plans to expand the number of task types to over 100,000.

Li also introduced Cangzhou OS, the first content operating system jointly launched by Baidu Wenku and Baidu Drive. Powered by Cangzhou OS, Baidu Drive has launched AI Note, the industry’s first multimodal AI note-taking tool. Users can generate quick notes, mind maps, and quizzes from watching educational videos with just a single click.

To date, Baidu Wenku’s AI features have amassed 40 million paying users and 97 million monthly active users (MAUs), while Baidu Drive’s AI features serve more than 80 million MAUs.

Building a Thriving Ecosystem: AI Open Initiative, MCP and ERNIE Cup

Addressing the booming AI application market, Baidu introduced a series of initiatives aimed at supporting AI developers in adapting to the emerging trend.

Baidu Search Open Platform has launched the AI Open Initiative (sai.baidu.com), providing developers of AI agents, H5 pages, mini programs, and standalone apps with traffic and monetization opportunities, as well as access to the latest AI services through a diversified content and service distribution system.

Also at the event, Baidu announced full support to enable developers to adopt Model Context Protocol (MCP). Li compared MCP to installing a “universal socket” for AI — enabling seamless connections between external services and large models through standardized interfaces. Live demos showcased the integration of MCP across a series of Baidu proprietary services, including the Baidu Qianfan Foundation Model Platform, Baidu Search, e-commerce, and Baidu Drive.

To further support innovation in AI, Baidu announced the third ERNIE Cup Innovation Challenge at Create 2025. This year’s challenge will double the prize amounts from previous years, offering up to RMB 70 million in investment for outstanding projects.

At the same time, Baidu announced that over the next five years, the company will scale up its efforts to cultivate an additional 10 million AI talents for society.

Baidu Create is Baidu’s annual tech event for the developer community, serving as a platform for technology launches and knowledge exchange. This year’s conference centered around the theme of “Models Lead, APPs Rule” and featured six sub-forums on subjects such as MCP, agents, DeepSeek and more.
