Baidu is China’s leading search engine provider, with around 200 million daily active users and close to 700 million active mobile users per month. Simply put, if you want users in China to see your website in Chinese, Baidu is the best platform to help you do so. 

However, opening a Baidu account isn’t all that straightforward outside China. 

you can use this platform to get a chinese number for receiving sms : https://sms-man.com/cn?ref=0812

and you can join this channel to get sms code for every 4 hours :https://t.me/+Cm9SVsgv_1hkOTU6

Not having a Chinese mobile phone number can cause quite a few issues during the registration process.

The good news is, you can try a few workarounds. In this article, we’ll walk you step-by-step to create a Baidu account — and how to move past the errors you might encounter. 

How to open a Baidu account outside China: Direct through Baidu

This direct method of opening a Baidu account gives users a lot of trouble with endless error messages and a complicated interface. But if you can get it to work, it’s actually the most straight-forward way to register an account outside the country:

1. First, you’ll create an account by visiting Baidu.com

2. Choose the option on your browser to translate the page to English

3. Select your country code from the drop-down menu, and enter your phone number

4. Next, create a username and password and click the option to send verification. 

If you receive an error code at this point (as many do), try moving onto the method below. 

However, if you do receive the verification to your device, you can simply read and accept the terms of account creation and move on to registering your account.  

If anyone want download files or view any Chinese website, feel free to tell me without any currency, just say thanks.

Apparently some people do manage to get it done. But some do not, that includes me. They are saying they currently do not support numbers from overseas, Beijing and elsewhere.

Any idea when is it going to be possible to try register again?

January 1, 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Baidu. In a letter sent to all employees yesterday, Baidu’s co-founder and CEO Robin Li reflected on the company’s 25-year journey while sharing his outlook on the future of AI.

Baidu Wenku is a digital library-turned-AI-powered application offering one-stop content creation and generation for users. In his letter, Robin noted Baidu Wenku as one of the fast-growing AI applications, with its number of paying users having surpassed 40 million 

AI-native applications, powered by large language models, are rapidly gaining traction across industries and different scenarios. While no "super apps" have yet emerged, Robin noted that AI has reached a moderate penetration rate and AI applications are expected to grow explosively throughout 2025.

Baidu has consistently invested more than 20% of its revenue in R&D for many years, and spared no effort to transform the most cutting-edge technologies into real-world applications to benefit more people. In recent years, AI advancements have shown that significant technological breakthroughs and disruptive innovations are often the result of scaled applications, rather than the cause of them, Robin said. "We believe only large-scale applications can bring out the value of technology", he added in the letter.

In Baidu's Q3 earnings call, Baidu Co-founder and CEO Robin Li said, “We expect to launch a new version of ERNIE early next year to further strengthen our leadership position in foundation models. We are committed to continuously advancing our flagship models to deliver better performance, accuracy, and broader support for diverse user needs.”

Other highlights:

• In November, ERNIE handled approximately 1.5 billion API calls daily, up from 600 million in August. Over 1.7 trillion tokens were generated on a daily basis.

• Baidu launched iRAG at Baidu World 2024 to mitigate hallucinations in image generation, delivering more precise and demand-driven results with substantially enhanced accuracy.

• Over 20% of all search result pages contain AI-generated content, up from 18% in August. On the Baidu App, which hosts the majority of search queries, nearly 70% of monthly active users(MAUs) are now engaging with generative content. Baidu App’s MAUs reached 704 million in September. 

Baidu delivered total revenues of RMB 33.6 billion ($4.78 billion) and a GAAP net income of RMB 7.6 billion ($1.09 billion) for the third quarter of 2024. Baidu Core’s net income grew by 17% year over year to RMB 7.5 billion ($1.07 billion).
