  "account": "Chinese tech giant ByteDance is developing an enormous new artificial intelligence model with a potential 10 trillion parameters, according to the Financial Times. This ambitious project could potentially rival or surpass the size of Anthropic's advanced Mythos system, which has approximately 8 trillion parameters. While the parameter count alone doesn't guarantee superior performance, it does indicate the scale of the model. Other notable models for comparison include Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 with 2.8 trillion parameters, Meituan's LongCat-2.0 at around 1.6 trillion parameters, and DeepSeek's V4-Pro also estimated at roughly 1.6 trillion parameters. ByteDance's new model is currently in the pre-training stage, which usually spans three to six months before moving on to fine-tuning and other stages before a possible release. The company's Seed team spearheads efforts in various AI development areas, including model pre-training and inference, and employs around 2,000 researchers from China and abroad. ByteDance has been heavily investing in AI over the past three years, expanding its data centers and hiring experts. The company's founder, Zhang Yiming, has emphasized the importance of independent model development for achieving world-leading AI capabilities.",
