Liang Rubo summarized the performance of ByteDance's AI business in the first half of 2026: Doubao remained competitive in C-side applications, and the video generation model Seedance maintained SOTA, but it also encountered problems such as large language models widening the gap between leading overseas models. Liang Rubo said that in terms of the big language model, ByteDance will continue to do its own research, do a good job in basic skills, accept short-term backwardness, and insist on long-term optimization.
