ByteDance is training an AI model with up to 10 trillion parameters that could near the scale of Anthropic's Mythos system, as the US-China AI race intensifies.
ByteDance, the Chinese technology group that owns TikTok, is training an artificial intelligence model with as many as 10 trillion parameters, a scale that could approach Anthropic's most advanced Mythos system, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report said it could not independently verify the details, and ByteDance had not immediately responded to a request for comment.
How the numbers stack up?
An AI model's parameter count refers to the numerical settings it learns from training data to recognise patterns, generate responses and carry out tasks, and is commonly used as a rough proxy for scale, though not necessarily for capability.
