Compared with its competitors, ByteDance started relatively late in the field of artificial intelligence. At the beginning of last year, domestic technology giants such as Baidu and Alibaba had already released large models, while ByteDance's Doubao was not released until August last year.
In order to catch up with the gap and improve the model call rate, ByteDance has made huge investments in large models and applications in the past year.
First of all, in terms of computing power investment, according to media hong kong phone number list sreports, ByteDance has purchased about 230,000 NVIDIA chips so far this year, second only to Microsoft 485,000 chips worldwide, and more than technology giants such as Meta and Google.
Secondly, it can also be seen from the purchase volume. According to reports, as of November, the company spent about 400 million yuan on the launch of its bean bag products, second only to Kimi's 540 million yuan.
As of the end of November, Doubao APP has accumulated more than 160 million users this year, ranking first in China; according to reports, the average daily token usage of Doubao APP in December exceeded 4 trillion, an increase of more than 33 times compared with the release period in May.
