[Zhang Yiming: Byte AI will equal OpenAI and Anthropic as early as 2029 or 2030] On November 12, it was learned from multiple sources familiar with the matter that ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming once again talked about the AI ​​business in internal sharing. It is understood that Zhang Yiming said at a recent all-staff meeting for the AI ​​team that Byte has the ability to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic, but to truly catch up with cutting-edge technology, "it will not be until 2029 or 2030 at the earliest." ByteDance’s large-scale model must be benchmarked against the first echelons in the world. Zhang Yiming said frankly that compared with top overseas AI companies, the size of the pre-training data set of Byte's Seed series models is still smaller. This is the issue that Byte AI needs to pay most attention to right now. (The Paper)
