Baidu’s Kunlunxin to launch M300 chip next year after M100 hits market

Kunlunxin is positioning its roadmap as a cost-efficiency play first, then a performance play, which matters most for Baidu's own AI workloads before any external merchant ambitions. The M100's on-schedule arrival lends credibility to the M300 and N-architecture timelines, but the real test is whether claimed gains in compute, storage and interconnect translate into usable capacity at scale. Whether Kunlunxin can convert an internal roadmap into broader market traction is the open question.
