Baidu (BIDU [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BIDU]) unveiled two new chips for AI processors and supercomputing products at its annual flagship technology conference, themed 'AI in Action,' in Beijing.

The M100—an inference-focused chip—is set to be launched in early 2026, while the M300, capable of both training and inference, is slated for early 2027, according to a _Reuters_ report [https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-baidu-unveils-new-ai-processors-supercomputing-products-2025-11-13/].

The move supports China's broader strategy to create a robust domestic tech stack independent of foreign chip suppliers.
