no response to AT command but ESP-01 is alive

I have what I am told is a ESP-01.
It is powered by a 3.3V power supply that I bought just for this project.
Its TX and RX are connected to RX and TX on the Arduino Uno via a level shifter board.
Code: Select allESP-01 TX <---- L  level shifter board  H  ----> TX
ESP-01 RX <---- L  level shifter board  H  ----> RX


The Arduino Uno is running an "empty" sketch.

I have the Serial Monitor on the Arduino Uno set to 115200 with CR.

When power is first applied, the blue LED on the ESP-01 briefly flickers.
The red LED is on.

I see some strange characters in the Serial Monitor, and then
Code: Select allAi-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd.

ready


The ESP-01 is alive and my smartphone says that it is AI-THINKER_D1E42E

But the module doesn't respond to AT.
I tried all the baud rates from 9600 to 115200.

Any ideas?
