Zeng Yan, leader of ByteDance’s Seedance model team, has revealed plans to develop a significantly larger AI model containing at least 200 billion parameters by the end of 2025. This ambition was shared with her manager, according to KrASIA.
Joining ByteDance as a campus hire in 2021, Zeng Yan is recognized for her expertise in video understanding and generation. KrASIA highlights her strong technical judgment and persistence in acquiring the necessary resources for her projects.
This move underscores ByteDance’s commitment to advancing AI capabilities, a trend that Japanese markets are closely monitoring as they seek to strengthen domestic AI development amid growing competition in the Asia-Pacific region.
