ByteDance is at an early stage of training an artificial intelligence model that could contain as many as 10 trillion parameters, according to a Financial Times report cited by Reuters. The system could be larger than leading Chinese models and is being positioned against advanced US systems including Anthropic’s Mythos. The model remains in pre-training, which can take several months before fine-tuning. ByteDance has not commented, and Reuters said it could not independently verify the reported specifications.
