Website Home(ChinaZ.com) June 11 News: Recently, an AI virtual friend chat product named "Little Yellow Banana" (English name Chatwiz) has been launched. Its feature is that it can generate photos, and the conversation process is very close to real humans. After verification, the industrial and commercial entity of this product is Beijing Zhending Technology Co., Ltd. (Tomato Novel), and the actual controller behind it is ByteDance.
In the past year, with the rapid development of AI large model technology, ByteDance has actively caught up and fully deployed AI large models, from the basic layer to the application layer. In August 2023, ByteDance launched its first large language model "Bean Parcel" and the multi-modal large model BuboGPT, and passed the first batch of "Generative Artificial Intelligence Service Management Interim Measures" for public access. In addition, ByteDance also established a new AI department Flow, and launched three AI dialogue products: Bean Parcel, Button, and Cici.
In terms of AI applications, ByteDance not only launched multiple AI large model field products, such as AI learning partner Hippo Love Learning, AI plot interaction product Cat Box, but also focused on AI hardware, including wearable AI devices and handheld AI devices. On May 15 this year, ByteDance's Volcano Engine released the full business solution of the Bean Parcel large model, and significantly reduced the pricing of the main model, triggering a large model price war.
The newly launched "Little Yellow Banana" is a friend chat platform based on AI digital human technology, with the slogan "Easy Chat, No 'Banana Anxiety'". The platform provides six high-value roles for users to choose from for communication, with a smooth and close to real conversation experience. Although ByteDance has not publicly responded to this matter yet, the launch of "Little Yellow Banana" undoubtedly shows ByteDance's continuous exploration and innovation in the field of AI applications.
