<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese tech giants</a> remain aggressively invested in their artificial intelligence ambitions with their price war games to expand market share.
Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) showcased its latest AI and reasoning models Ernie 4.5 Turbo and Ernie X1 Turbo Friday.
Baidu slashed the price of 4.5 Turbo by 80% more than its previous version, and the X1 Turbo price by half, intensifying rivalry with&nbsp;Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)&nbsp;and DeepSeek, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-25/china-s-baidu-upgrades-ernie-ai-models-and-slashes-prices?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> citing founder&nbsp;Robin Li&nbsp;at a developer conference in Wuhan.

X1 Turbo marked Baidu&#8217;s answer to DeepSeek. Baidu also launched several products, including an&nbsp;AI agent&nbsp;platform, Xinxiang, which can automate everyday tasks.
Baidu added new servers that it said will allow developers to connect their AI models to the company&#8217;s search engine and e-commerce data.
Baidu lagged behind Alibaba and DeepSeek despite being amongst the first in the Chinese tech sector to launch a chatbot modeled after OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, which failed to gain traction.
Alibaba and its peers launched <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/04/44796128/alibabas-quark-ai-surpasses-bytedances-doubao-with-150-million-monthly-users" rel="noreferrer noopener">successive affordable business</a> intelligence tools&nbsp;for developers that cost just $1 per year for individuals since the Chinese AI upstart DeepSeek triggered a price war with its claims of offering affordable AI models that could beat the likes of OpenAI.
Reportedly, DeepSeek tapped Tsinghua University&nbsp;researchers to develop a technique to improve the reasoning capabilities of&nbsp;large language models (LLMs).
Alibaba Cloud&nbsp;is China&#8217;s largest cloud service provider, with over one-third of the market.
Alibaba&#8217;s Damo Academy receives <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44895667/alibabas-ai-powered-cancer-detection-tool-wins-fda-breakthrough-status" rel="noreferrer noopener">FDA breakthrough device</a> status for its AI-powered cancer detection tool, Damo Panda.
Alibaba&#8217;s Quark AI app surpassed ByteDance&#8217;s Doubao, reaching 150 million monthly users in March.
Price Action: BIDU stock is up 1.79% at $91.10 at last check Friday.

Baidu Goes Aggressive China's In AI Price War With Alibaba, DeepSeek

Wall Street's three-day rally came to a pause on Friday, with major indices hovering near the flatline by midday in New York as caution returned amid mixed signals on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">U.S.-China trade relations.</a>
President Donald Trump claimed to have held a phone call with President Xi Jinping, yet Chinese officials denied that any talks had taken place.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its rally into a fourth consecutive session, notching its best weekly performance of the year with a 16% gain. On Thursday afternoon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles, saying it aimed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and advance toward a unified national standard.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) was the biggest laggard of the day, falling 11%, on track for its worst single-day loss since March 2020. This came despite better-than-expected earnings, as its core wireless business posted slower growth than analysts had projected.
Among sectors, consumer discretionary led gains, buoyed by Tesla's 8% gain, while materials underperformed.
In fixed income, Treasury yields declined for a fourth straight session, underscoring how critical Trump's early-week reassurance — that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell — was for bond market sentiment.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped 4 basis points to 4.27%, on course for its lowest close since April 8.
In commodities, gold slid 2%, oil held steady at $62 per barrel, and natural gas rose 1% to $3 per million British thermal units, snapping a 10-session losing streak.
In crypto markets, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 1.2% to $95,000.

The way we build and protect wealth is changing fast. For decades, financial security meant navigating traditional systems: banks, brokerage accounts, pension funds, and maybe a few real estate plays. That was Wealth 1.0. Then came Wealth 2.0—the digital layer. Robo-advisors, fintech apps, ETFs at your fingertips. Access improved. Friction dropped.
But now, a third evolution is underway. Wealth 3.0 isn't just digital. It's decentralized.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Wealth 3.0?</h3>
Wealth 3.0 is the new paradigm where individuals build, manage, and protect wealth through decentralized infrastructure. It leans on blockchain, tokenization, smart contracts, and non-custodial tools to reduce dependence on legacy systems.
This isn't about abandoning banks. It's about owning your wealth more directly, with fewer intermediaries and greater flexibility.
Wealth 3.0 is:
<ul>
<li>Global by design</li>
<li>Accessible to anyone with an internet connection</li>
<li>Transparent, programmable, and customizable</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Matters in 2025</h3>
We're in a year marked by volatility: interest rate shifts, renewed inflation concerns, geopolitical tensions, and weakening trust in centralized institutions. At the same time, decentralized tools are maturing.
What was once experimental is now usable:
<ul>
<li>Wallet-based asset management</li>
<li>Tokenized real estate and private equity</li>
<li>Smart contract–based income tools (like automated yield protocols)</li>
<li>On-chain identity and credit scoring</li>
</ul>
In short, decentralization is becoming more practical—and it's reshaping wealth-building strategy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Pillars of Wealth 3.0</h3>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Self-Custody and Control</h4>
With decentralized wallets, individuals can hold assets without relying on banks or custodians. This isn't just about cryptocurrency—it includes tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and even regulated digital securities.
It means fewer third parties, lower fees, and greater autonomy.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Passive Yield Without the Middlemen</h4>
Decentralized finance (DeFi) enables users to earn yield directly from lending, liquidity provision, or staking—all governed by smart contracts. No banks taking a cut. No waiting on monthly interest.
With proper risk management, these tools can supplement traditional fixed-income strategies.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Global Financial Access</h4>
In emerging markets, where banking is often limited or unreliable, Wealth 3.0 tools allow users to invest, transact, and build credit without ever visiting a bank.
That's not just empowering. It's revolutionary.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Programmable Wealth Management</h4>
Wealth 3.0 tools are customizable. Investors can set rules for automatic rebalancing, trigger-based asset swaps, or automated charitable giving—all executed by smart contracts.
This reduces reliance on advisors while increasing precision.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What It's Not</h3>
Wealth 3.0 isn't about ditching financial advisors or betting everything on crypto. It's not about replacing traditional markets.
It's about giving individuals more tools to build and protect wealth on their own terms.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where to Start</h3>
If you&#8217;re looking to engage with Wealth 3.0:
<ul>
<li>Set up a non-custodial wallet (e.g., MetaMask or Ledger Live)</li>
<li>Explore tokenized investments on regulated platforms</li>
<li>Learn about yield protocols with a conservative allocation</li>
<li>Stay informed on regulations and custody rules in your jurisdiction</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thought: Wealth, Rewritten</h3>
The old model said: trust the system, play the long game, and hope for stability.
The new model says: own your assets, use smart tools, and adapt with agility.
Wealth 3.0 is here—not as a trend, but as a toolkit. And in a decentralized economy, the people who understand these tools won't just protect their financial future.
They'll help shape it.
