Rohan Paul(@rohanpaul_ai):FT: ByteDance is reportedly pre-training an AI model with up to 10T parameters, far exceeding Kimi K3’s 2.8Trn param size. FT also reported that ByteDance has avoided distilling rival models for more than a year, preferring independent model development. If the reported run succeeds, ByteDance will have shown it can execute frontier-scale pretraining without leaning on a rival model as teacher.
