ByteDance is training an AI model with as many as 10 trillion parameters, and if you ship anything on top of AI APIs, this changes your economics even if you never send it a single request. For scale, that’s roughly three times bigger than Kimi K3, the largest Chinese model released so far, and it edges past most estimates of what Anthropic has in training.

It’s what a third serious player does to the price of the tokens I buy every month. ...

Stability AI raised $76 million in October 2025, and the investor list surprised almost everyone: Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group, Electronic Arts, and AMD Ventures.

Mark Zuckerberg told investors on Meta’s Q2 earnings call that he thinks it’s “extremely unlikely” that in five years, billions of people won’t have a personal AI agent working on their behalf 24/7.
