Doubao Token's daily average consumption has increased 1,000 times over two years

On April 2, Tan, President of Volcano Engine, mentioned in the latest business progress update that the Doubao large model’s daily Token usage exceeds 1.2 trillion. This figure has grown twofold over the past three months—up by 1,000 times from the level of 120 billion on a daily average at the time of its release in May 2024.

More enterprises’ Token consumption scale has also shown clear changes. Currently, the number of companies on Volcano Engine with cumulative Token usage exceeding 1 trillion has grown from 100 at the end of last year to 140.

Tan pointed out that Token usage is a core metric for measuring the pace of AI development. In recent times, the Doubao large model’s usage has been growing rapidly, and the key drivers are the surge in AI video creation and the accelerated adoption of AI agents. ByteDance’s lobster-type agent service ArkClaw and the video model Seedance2.0 directly participate in and help drive this trend.

On the same day, another important business-side move was that the Seedance2.0 API opened a public beta for enterprise users. (interface)
