ByteDance is training an AI model that could approach the size of Anthropic’s most cutting-edge Mythos system, as Chinese companies continue to narrow the gap with the top US labs. The Chinese tech giant is at an early stage of training a model with as many as 10tn parameters — three times larger than Moonshot’s Kimi K3, the biggest Chinese model released to date, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The ByteDance model is being pre-trained — a stage that typically takes three to six months — before it is fine-tuned and released if all goes well, one of the people said. The exact model size would only be determined at a later stage.
