At the Force conference held on June 23, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming stated that the influence of AI is at least no less than the three major IT revolutions of PC, Web, and Mobile. Enterprise focus has shifted from "whether to do AI" to "how to do AI." Zhang Yiming disclosed that ByteDance has set "climbing to the summit" as the company's annual keyword, with climbing to the highest peak of the AI era and improving large model technology capabilities as the most important tasks at present. Zhang Yiming revealed that the upcoming new version of the Seedance video generation model will be the first in the industry to support the "3D white model pre-rehearsal" feature, which is based on a suggestion from a well-known director and reflects the practice of jointly climbing the AI summit.
