The Baidu Xiaodu Pro is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product with no display, marketed explicitly as not being AR glasses, made through Baidu's Xiaodu Technology subsidiary. At 39 grams with titanium hinges, a Sony 12-megapixel camera shooting 4K photos and 1440p30 video, a four-microphone array, and prescription-lens support in Boston and Cat-Eye styles, it is built around Baidu's ERNIE large language model for first-person ask-about-what-you-see question answering, object and calorie recognition, encyclopedia lookup, audio and visual translation, and reminders. It is recorded as a new model under the existing Baidu company, which also develops the Baidu Apollo autonomous-driving brain in the registry. Its shipping status resolves an open question: first announced at Baidu World 2024 and slated for the first half of 2025, it slipped before going on retail sale on November 11, 2025 as the Xiaodu Pro on JD.com and Tmall at 2,299 yuan, roughly $322, with next-day delivery, so it is genuinely shipping rather than announce-only, placing it at commercial maturity as the newest of the Wave 3 glasses with no independent sales figures yet. The AI is primary and genuine, marketed as the first native AI glasses powered by a Chinese large language model with the ERNIE-driven assistant as the headline rather than veneer, though cloud-dependent. The ERNIE on-device-versus-cloud split, real-world assistant quality, and sales volume are not verified, and the original 16-megapixel specification from the 2024 announcement was superseded by the shipping Sony 12-megapixel camera.
