The ByteDance Doubao large model team announced today the successful development of a new sparse model architecture called UltraMem. This architecture effectively addresses the high memory access issues during the inference of MoE (Mixture of Experts) models, improving inference speed by 2 to 6 times compared to MoE, and reducing inference costs by up to 83%. This groundbreaking advancement opens a new path for efficient inference of large models. The UltraMem architecture successfully resolves the memory bottleneck during inference of MoE architectures while maintaining model performance. Experimental results show that the parameters and activation conditions are the same.

Imagine being able to see a person speaking, moving, and even performing, all from just a single photo within seconds. This is the allure of OmniHuman-1, recently launched by ByteDance. This artificial intelligence model, which has gone viral online, can create highly realistic videos that bring static images to life. Combined with audio clips, it achieves lip synchronization, full-body movements, and rich facial expressions. Unlike traditional deepfake technologies, OmniHuman-1 is not limited to facial replacement; it can animate the entire person.

In the field of academic research, literature retrieval is a complex and crucial information acquisition task. Researchers need the capability to handle intricate, domain-specific search queries to meet detailed research requirements. However, existing academic search platforms, like Google Scholar, often struggle to address these complex research queries. For example, queries related to non-stationary reinforcement learning using the UCB method require stronger computational and analytical capabilities. Moreover, researchers typically need to spend a significant amount of time and effort manually browsing extensive academic literature when conducting literature reviews.

In 2024, global mobile users spent an astonishing $1.27 billion on AI chatbots and art generation tools. This figure represents significant growth compared to the previous two years, with spending on chatbot applications reaching $1.07 billion, reflecting a strong demand and recognition for AI assistants. According to the latest market report, ChatGPT leads in both downloads and consumption in the AI-generated content (AIGC) application space, becoming the preferred choice for users. Following closely is Google's Gemini.

ByteDance officially launches its latest Doubao large model 1.5 Pro (Doubao-1.5-pro), which demonstrates outstanding comprehensive capabilities in various fields, successfully surpassing the well-known GPT-4o and Claude3.5Sonnet in the industry. The release of this model marks an important step forward for ByteDance in the field of artificial intelligence. Doubao 1.5 Pro adopts a novel sparse MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture, utilizing a smaller set of activation parameters for pre-training. This design's innovation...

Recently, ByteDance launched an AI integrated development environment (IDE) called Trae, aimed specifically at Chinese developers. This product is designed to compete with internationally renowned tools such as Cursor and Windsurf, particularly focusing on the user experience of Chinese developers. In their daily programming, many developers often need to switch between English and Chinese. This mixed-language working mode, while common, poses inconveniences for many Chinese developers. Existing IDEs such as

New developments in the field of artificial intelligence! Former ByteDance large model solutions architect Pan Yunan has officially joined the startup Lobo Intelligence as co-founder and CTO. This news has attracted widespread attention in the industry, signaling that Lobo Intelligence will accelerate its efforts in the integration of large models and embodied intelligent hardware applications. Founded in January 2024, Lobo Intelligence focuses on innovative applications of large models and embodied intelligent hardware. It is reported that the company has completed angel financing amounting to tens of millions of RMB, which will support subsequent product research and development.

In the field of artificial intelligence, ByteDance's commercial technology team presents the latest achievement, the Infinity model, which has become a new leader in the auto-regressive text-to-image generation domain with its outstanding performance and innovative technology. This newly open-sourced model not only surpasses Stable Diffusion 3 in image generation quality but also demonstrates significant advantages in inference speed. The core innovation of the Infinity model lies in its use of a Bitwise Token auto-regressive framework, which predicts the next level of resolution by +1 or -1.

Recently, there were reports that ByteDance is collaborating with Nubia to develop an AI phone, expected to launch in 2025. According to these reports, the two parties have signed a framework agreement and plan to present a detailed proposal in the first quarter of 2025, followed by prototype production and testing stages, with a product launch event scheduled for late Q3 or October 2025, and the phone priced between 5000 to 7000 yuan. However, in response to this information, a ByteDance representative promptly stated that the information is false, emphasizing that the company has no such plans.
