By listing Kunlunxin on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Baidu aims to raise funds to further invest in the development of its AI chip technology and expand its market share. The move is also seen as a strategic play to tap into the growing demand for AI chips in China, where the government has been actively promoting the development of the AI industry.

The listing is expected to be a significant milestone for Baidu and the AI chip industry as a whole. It will provide investors with a unique opportunity to invest in a company that is at the forefront of the AI chip revolution.
