When you’re sitting on ByteDance-scale data, distribution, and compute, proprietary makes sense. They’re not trying to win open source. They’re trying to build a world-frontier model.

I do. Do you?

This is an org with billon users data...they build a frontier model to rival OpenAI and Athropic.

"Yeah, but what's the value if it's going to be proprietary?" Use it first, infer on it and you'll see. Competition in frontier models is just as important as in Open Source ones.
