Peking University and ByteDance Launch AI Joint Laboratory
On December 12, 2024, Peking University and ByteDance officially announced the establishment of the Doubao Large Model System Software Joint Laboratory. This initiative marks a significant milestone in fostering collaboration between academia and industry within China's artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
The joint laboratory will focus on research based on ByteDance's Doubao large model. This partnership aims to explore key technologies related to model training and inference, involving both university researchers and industry experts. As part of this collaboration, students from Peking University will gain valuable hands-on experience through internships and work opportunities alongside professionals in the field.
The Doubao Large Model team at ByteDance was formed in 2023, concentrating on advanced areas such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, large language models (LLM), speech, vision, AI infrastructure, and AI security. The team has successfully developed a general-purpose large model with multimodal capabilities, which has been implemented in over 50 businesses, including Doubao, Kouzi, and Jimeng. Additionally, these services are accessible to enterprise clients through the Volcano Engine.
Earlier this year, at the 2024 Spring Volcano Engine Force Conference, ByteDance announced the commencement of external services for the Doubao large model, marking a crucial step towards the commercialization of AI technologies.
The partnership between Peking University and ByteDance exemplifies the growing integration of universities and enterprises in the AI sector. Through this joint laboratory, both parties aim to leverage their respective strengths to accelerate the transformation of research findings into practical applications, thereby revitalizing the innovative development of China's AI industry.
Looking ahead, significant breakthroughs are anticipated from the joint laboratory, contributing to the advancement and widespread adoption of AI technologies. Moreover, this collaboration will provide more students with opportunities to engage with cutting-edge industry technologies, preparing them for future careers in China's evolving AI landscape.
