The landscape of AI is evolving rapidly, and ByteDance's cloud and AI service platform, Volcano Engine, is at the forefront of this technological revolution. With a staggering 137-fold increase in daily token usage for its DouBao large model since its debut in May last year, the platform has now surpassed 16.4 trillion tokens, securing a leading 46.4% market share in China's public cloud large model services.
Volcano Engine's recent product launch unveiled a suite of innovative AI solutions, including the DouBao Image Editing Model 3.0, DouBao Simultaneous Interpretation Model 2.0, and an upgraded series of the DouBao large model 1.6. President Tan Dai remarked that AI is transitioning from a mere tool to an active intelligent entity, signaling a significant shift in our approach to technology.
The past year has seen remarkable advancements in the technical iteration and expansion of application scenarios for the DouBao large model. In June, the model was upgraded to version 1.6, introducing new products like the DouBao Video Generation Model Seedance1.0pro and the DouBao Voice Podcast Model. These additions have provided businesses and individual users with a wider array of applications, propelling the commercialization of AI.
Looking ahead, IDC forecasts that by 2024, the invocation of large models in China's public cloud will reach 114.2 trillion tokens. Volcano Engine's market share is significantly ahead of competitors, with projected revenues exceeding 12 billion for 2024 and plans to double that to 25 billion by 2025. Tan Dai expressed optimism about the vast market potential, with Volcano Engine aiming to continue leading the industry's development.
Among the new releases, the DouBao Image Editing Model 3.0 stands out for its ability to process images through natural language, catering to the needs of users in advertising and marketing sectors.
