[ByteDance Discusses Training a Model with Over 5 Trillion Parameters, Potentially the Largest Known Model in China] BlockBeats News, August 6: ByteDance is currently discussing the training of a model with a parameter scale exceeding 5 trillion, surpassing Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Max (2.4 trillion parameters) and Dark Side of the Moon's K3 (2.8 trillion parameters). This would make it the largest known model in terms of parameter scale in China. Generally speaking, the larger the model scale, the higher the level of intelligence it tends to exhibit. However, this plan is still in its early stages and does not guarantee that the model will ultimately be released. The new model will be led by SeedFoundation head Xiang Liang, in collaboration with Shen Ke, who is responsible for pre-training data for large language models. To this end, Seed is reorganizing its structure, defining responsibilities, and allocating resources. (LatePost) [Original Link]
