Choblin(@choblin29):🚨BREAKING: Doubao PR head Liu Xing said today that only about 10% of ByteDance's total compute is used for the training and inference of video generation models. He was disputing a June investor filing by COL Group, that claimed 55% of China's domestic AI token consumption goes to short dramas and video generation - more than double the token consumption of software development - while 24% goes to e-commerce advertising and 15% goes to R&D. One interesting detail from the same filing: COL said it was among the first major customers of ByteDance's own Seedance 2.0 video model.
