Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance are demanding that Samsung and SK hynix extend long-term server memory contracts to 10 years. Over 50-80% of volumes for 2027-2028 are already allocated, and Micron is excluded from the Chinese market.

ByteDance controls about 20% of all active data center capacity in China, acting as the largest infrastructure tenant for artificial intelligence development.

TikTok has agreed to pay Alabama $100 million and limit teen app usage to two hours daily to avoid a public trial over child safety concerns.

ByteDance agreed to pay $400 million over an FTC lawsuit concerning the illegal collection of data on American children under 13. Part of the sum will be remitted after the completion of the procedures under the 2019 Musical.ly case.

🚀 ByteDance launches AI model with 10 trillion parameters, challenging Anthropic and OpenAI. 🔹 The model is in the pre-training stage. 🔹 A team of 2,000 specialists is working on the project. 🔹 The goal is to surpass Western counterparts in quality and capabilities. #ByteDance #AI #TikTok #Anthropic #Technology

🚫 ByteDance has banned its AI engineers from using competitor models for training. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Amidst accusations from OpenAI and Anthropic against Chinese firms, Beijing is trying to distance itself from "intellectual theft". 🤖 The distillation technology allows creating cheap copies of powerful models, but ByteDance has now abandoned this method for business security. 📉 Internal disputes are ongoing within the company: abandoning the method may slow down development, but it will preserve access to markets.

The European Commission has accused TikTok of violating the Digital Services Act due to insufficient protection of children. Regulators are demanding a change in default settings so that teenagers' profiles are not accessible to outsiders. The fine could amount to up to 6% of ByteDance's global turnover. 📱🚫👶

Chinese authorities are preparing to restrict foreign access to their advanced neural networks, including DeepSeek. AI is now viewed as a strategic resource, and the leakage of technologies could become a crime against state security. 🇨🇳🤖🚫
