About This Tool
Wantalk was an AI character dialogue platform launched in December 2023 by Beijing Platinum Star Technology (a Baidu subsidiary), built on the Wenxin (ERNIE) LLM under the slogan 'Everything can talk'. It supported 5-dimension character customization and attracted 120K+ developers with its MoE-powered architecture (v1.6.0.10). However, by mid-2026, Baidu consolidated all ERNIE product web portals into chat.baidu.com. Wantalk as an independent brand and standalone app has ceased operations — its functionality and user data were merged into Baidu's unified AI platform.

Background
Wantalk was launched by Baidu in December 2023, first announced by Baidu VP Li Xiaowan at the May 2023 Wanxiang Conference. Built on the Wenxin (ERNIE) LLM ecosystem, it was positioned as an AI character dialogue platform.
Technology
Based on a 100B-parameter Transformer decoder trained on 12M dialogue samples across 20+ vertical scenarios (Baidu Developer Portal). The 5-dimension customization system used dual-model architecture (base model + role adapter). v1.5 MoE architecture (16 sub-networks) boosted inference 40%.
Market
At its peak: 120K+ developers, 300M+ daily API calls. Covered by AFP, France24, Daily Mail. In mid-2026, Baidu consolidated all ERNIE portals into chat.baidu.com — Wantalk's standalone brand and app ceased operations.
