Doubao will add paid subscriptions outside of the free mode; official response

Recently, a service statement for a paid version appeared on the Doubao App Store page. In response, Doubao’s official response said that Doubao has always provided free services, and on the basis of its free services, Doubao is also exploring the launch of more value-added services. Details of the relevant plans are currently still in the testing phase. In addition, sources close to Doubao revealed that the paid features will mainly focus on complex task and productivity scenarios, such as PPT generation, data analysis, and film production. As the model’s capabilities continue to improve, the product can already meet an increasing number of complex high-value tasks. However, such tasks require more computing power and inference time, so Doubao plans to roll out paid services to meet the needs of these complex scenarios. The free version will continue to be aimed at users’ everyday use. (Yicai)
