ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, launched Doubao 1.5 Pro on Jan. 22.

This updated AI model aims to reflect the company’s advancements in AI technology, despite facing challenges from US export restrictions on advanced chips.

The new model features a “resource-efficient” training method designed to enhance performance while reducing costs.

ByteDance said that Doubao 1.5 Pro uses a server cluster that supports low-end chips, allowing for reduced infrastructure expenses.
