According to CoinMeta, ByteDance is discussing training a model with a parameter scale of over 5 trillion, which surpasses Alibaba’s qwen3.8-max (2.4 trillion parameters) and Moonlit’s k3 (2.8 trillion parameters), making it the largest model known in China so far. Generally speaking, the larger the model scale, the higher the level of intelligence. However, this plan is still in its early stages and does not necessarily mean that the model will be released in the end. The new model will be led by Xiang Liang, the person in charge of Seed Foundation, in collaboration with Shen Ke, who is responsible for the pre-training data of large language models. To this end, Seed is reorganizing its structure, clarifying responsibilities, and allocating resources accordingly.
