Beijing-based company has lured top AI talent from local rivals while becoming China’s biggest buyer of Nvidia chips
TikTok-owner ByteDance has emerged as an early frontrunner in the race to capitalise on generative artificial intelligence in China, poaching top talent from local rivals and becoming Nvidia’s biggest customer in the country. The Beijing-based company has lured top AI engineers and researchers away from Alibaba and start-ups such as 01.ai and Zhipu in recent months, according to multiple people with knowledge of the hiring spree.
“The key differentiator of ByteDance’s Doubao is that it brings together multiple AI capabilities in one polished application,” said Wang Tiezhen, an engineer at machine learning platform Hugging Face, pointing to the chatbot’s search, translation, image and video generation capabilities. ByteDance has also launched an overseas chatbot, Cici AI, which is powered by third party models including OpenAI’s GPT.
