VoidAsuka · x · 2026-08-08

Rumors suggest ByteDance is training a massive 10-trillion-parameter model, significantly larger than any currently released Chinese model like Kimi's 2.8T. The project is led by the Seed team under Wu Yonghui (formerly Google DeepMind), with founder Zhang Yiming pushing for independent development over distillation.

However, the original poster points out that some netizens are confusing LLMs with video generation models, leading to misunderstandings about the model's actual capabilities.
