TikTok owner ByteDance on Wednesday released an update to its flagship AI model aimed at challenging Microsoft-backed OpenAIs latest reasoning model products, as a global race intensified to create AI models capable of tackling complex problems.The company released Doubao-1.5-pro, an upgrade to its flagship AI model, which it claims outperforms OpenAIs o1 in AIME, a benchmark test that measures how well AI models understand and respond to complex instructions.ByteDances release comes after Chinese AI startup DeepSeek rolled out an open-source reasoning model called DeepSeek-R1 on Monday that it said rivaled OpenAIs o1 on several performance benchmarks.DeepSeek drew widespread attention in global AI circles last month after tests showed its V3 large language model outperformed those of OpenAI and Meta, despite a smaller development budget and plans to charge users a lot less.The developments in AI reasoning by ByteDance, DeepSeek and others is likely to challenge the market share of OpenAI and other large language models in terms of both performance metrics and fees charged to users.Other Chinese firms that have unveiled their own reasoning models in the past weeks include Moonshot AI, Minimax and iFlyTek.OpenAI triggered the race in AI development after it launched ChatGPT in November 2022 and its Strawberry series of AI reasoning models in September last year. The latter are capable of reasoning through complex tasks and solving more challenging problems than previous models in science, coding and math.Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said they had finalized a version of its new reasoning AI model o3 mini, and would be launching it in a couple of weeks.DeepSeek proposed a cut-price fee offering for accessing and using DeepSeek-R1, at 16 yuan ($2.20) per million tokens, considerably less than OpenAIs o1 438 yuan for the same usage.ByteDances pricing is even more aggressive. Doubao-1.5-pro-32k costs 2 yuan per million tokens for output, while its more powerful Doubao-1.5-pro-256k version is priced at 9 yuan, according to ByteDances cloud platform Volcano Engine.($1 = 7.2798 Chinese yuan renminbi)Liam Mo and Brenda Goh, Reuters

Okay fine, Ill buy TikTok so it doesnt get banned, MrBeast posted on X on January 13. Turns out, he wasnt kidding. Jimmy Donaldson, known to his 347 million YouTube subscribers as MrBeast, has officially joined a bid to acquire TikToks U.S. operations.Days after his initial X post, Donaldson shared a TikTok video again teasing his interest in acquiring TikTok. I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires, he said. TikTok, we mean business.True to his word, MrBeast has indeed teamed up with Employer.com CEO Jesse Tinsley and other investors, submitting an all-cash bid for TikTok, according to a report in Bloomberg.The U.S. law firm Paul Hastings confirmed MrBeasts TikTok bid in a statement on Tuesday, revealing that Tinsley is spearheading the investor group. The group reportedly includes institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, with MrBeast being the only publicly named member.The statement didnt disclose the size of the all-cash bid, though former president Donald Trump estimated TikToks value at $1 trillion on the same day. Forbes previously named Donaldson the worlds highest-earning internet creator of 2023, with a staggering $85 million in earnings.It remains unclear whether ByteDance, TikToks parent company, is seriously considering the offer, Bloomberg reported. Meanwhile, other big names like Elon Musk, Oracle, and billionaire Frank McCourt are also rumored to be potential buyers.TikTok briefly went dark on Saturday. Less than 24 hours later it was back. Former President Donald Trump, now back in office, signed an executive order on Monday allowing the app to continue U.S. operationsfor now. The move delays any potential ban for 75 days but doesnt offer a permanent solution.ByteDance again faces two options: Sell the U.S. operations to a buyer or hope for an improbable legislative reversal. For TikTok, the clock is ticking once again.
