Agents are growing at an average annual rate of more than double, and Baidu AI Cloud has equipped agents with a new foundation.

What happened: At Baidu AI Cloud's Super Agent conference in Wuhan on October 29, the company presented industry agent cases in community governance, park operations, manufacturing and store management, and introduced dual-layer AI Infra and Agent Infra infrastructure. Key numbers: IDC forecasts 2.216 billion active agents Why it matters: Baidu argues enterprises now need a stable runtime foundation, not just a model interface, as agents move into production. It says building Agent Infra in-house spans computing, storage, networking, cloud native and model engineering, with high cost.
