TikTok<\/span> and Douyin<\/span> owner ByteDance’s Seed department<\/span>, which oversees the tech unicorn’s AI research and large language model (LLM) development, has uploaded three variants of its Seed-OSS-36B open-source AI model to Hugging Face<\/span>, the world’s largest open-source AI developer platform.<\/div>\n

Seed-OSS-36B was designed with both general-purpose and reasoning capabilities, with support for long-context window processing and various developer-friendly features, ByteDance said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Despite a modest size of 36 billion parameters – the internal variables used by the system during training to improve its performance – Seed-OSS-36B offered competitive capabilities, the company said. Open-source AI models released by other Chinese companies have parameters dozens of times larger.<\/p>\n

Citing recent benchmark tests, ByteDance said its new AI model either matched or surpassed the capabilities of similar-sized offerings from competitors including Alibaba Cloud, Google<\/span> and OpenAI<\/span>, as well as the firm’s own Seed 1.6 model. Alibaba Cloud is the AI and cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group Holding<\/span>, owner of the South China Morning Post.<\/div>\n

ByteDance’s release of Seed-OSS-36B AI reflects how Chinese AI companies are continuing to narrow the gap with their US peers through the open-source approach, which makes the source code of AI models available for third-party developers to use, modify and distribute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
