ERNIE 5.5 Flash

Baidu's open model for coding, game development, 3D modeling and knowledge work, with a 1M-⁠token context window

About ERNIE 5.5 Flash

ERNIE 5.5 Flash is Baidu's open model for coding, game development, 3D modeling and knowledge work. It has 280 billion parameters, of which 14 billion work on each token, and reads up to 1 million tokens in one conversation

ERNIE 5.5 Flash scores 61.9% on AutomationBench, ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 at 58.0% and GPT-⁠6.1 Sol at 49.3%, and has the best result on SpreadsheetBench V2 and MCP-Atlas among the models it is compared with. It builds games in Unreal Engine, Unity and Godot and writes Blender scripts that model whole 3D scenes

On Overchat AI, ERNIE 5.5 Flash is in the same chat as Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-⁠6 and DeepSeek, so you can compare answers and switch models without starting over

Write a Godot 4 GDScript for a 2D platformer player that runs and jumps, with coyote time and a jump buffer. Keep it short, then explain each of the two timers in one sentence.

ERNIE 5.5 Flash

Attach this to a CharacterBody2D and define the input actions move_left, move_right, and jump in Project Settings.

gdscript
extends CharacterBody2D

const SPEED := 260.0
const ACCEL := 2400.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY := -520.0
const GRAVITY := 1500.0
const COYOTE_TIME := 0.12
const JUMP_BUFFER := 0.12

var _coyote := 0.0
var _buffer := 0.0

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    _coyote = maxf(0.0, _coyote - delta)
    _buffer = maxf(0.0, _buffer - delta)

    if is_on_floor():
        _coyote = COYOTE_TIME
    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
        _buffer = JUMP_BUFFER

    var dir := Input.get_axis("move_left", "move_right")
    velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, dir * SPEED, ACCEL * delta)

    velocity.y += GRAVITY * delta

    if _buffer > 0.0 and _coyote > 0.0:
        velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
        _coyote = 0.0
        _buffer = 0.0
    elif Input.is_action_just_released("jump") and velocity.y < 0.0:
        velocity.y *= 0.45

    move_and_slide()

Coyote time: After you walk off a ledge, _coyote stays above zero for ~0.12 s, so a jump pressed during that window still fires even though is_on_floor() is already false.

Jump buffer: A jump press made up to ~0.12 s before you land is stored in _buffer and executed on the frame you touch the ground, so early presses aren't silently dropped.

Write a Blender Python script that builds a small low-poly wooden cabin: four walls, a pitched roof, a door and two windows, each as its own object with a simple material. Keep the script under 80 lines.

Our Q3 numbers: revenue $1.2M (+18% from Q2), monthly churn 4.1% (up from 3.2%), customer acquisition cost $410 (down from $520), 3 new enterprise deals. Write a five-sentence update for the board: what went well, what to watch and one next step.

ERNIE 5.5 Flash

Q3 revenue reached $1.2M, up 18% from Q2, with three new enterprise deals and customer acquisition cost improving to $410 from $520. Those results show stronger enterprise momentum and more efficient go-to-market execution. The key watch item is monthly churn, which rose to 4.1% from 3.2% and could offset growth if the trend continues. We will analyze churn by cohort and product usage to identify the main drivers before Q4 planning. Next step: launch a retention task force with a target of returning monthly churn below 3.2% by the end of Q4.
