April 2 report, the president of Volcano Engine, Tan Dai, officially disclosed the latest "battle results" of the Doubao large model: its daily token usage has strongly broken through the 120 trillion mark. This number not only set a new industry record, but also demonstrated ByteDance's formidable penetration in AI applications.

Explosive Growth: Doubled in Three Months

The growth curve of the Doubao large model is extremely steep. Data shows that in the past three months, its token usage doubled directly. If the timeline is extended, compared to two years ago, this data has achieved an astonishing 1000-fold increase. This exponential leap indirectly proves that the domestic AI industry has fully shifted from the "model competition" stage to the "large-scale application" stage.

Industry Background: Domestic Large Models' Call Volume Rises Dramatically

Doubao's breakthrough is not an isolated case. Recently, the call volume of domestic large models has shown strong resilience.

  • Surpassing Overseas: According to related data, the daily call volume of domestic large models has ranked first for a continuous month and exceeded overseas mainstream models in some niche fields.

  • Token Standardization: With the Chinese name of Token officially determined as "word unit", China's daily word unit call volume has exceeded 140 trillion, with Doubao leading the way, capturing most of the market share.

Competition Among Giants: TokenHub Becomes the New Battlefield

Facing the surge in call demand, cloud service providers are re-evaluating the commercial value of Tokens.

  • Ecosystem Layout: Alibaba established the Alibaba Token Hub business group, while Tencent Cloud also followed by upgrading its MaaS platform to TokenHub.

  • Price War and Sustainability: Although Zhipu, the first stock of large models has achieved both increased volume and price, how to maintain sustainable profitability while scaling up remains the focus of the entire industry.

Industry Observation: The "Deep Water Zone" of Application Implementation

From the 455% monthly increase in call volume of Jingdong's "Lobster" series products to Doubao's record of 120 trillion, AI is accelerating its penetration into real scenarios such as e-commerce, office work, and social networking. The sharp increase in Token call volume essentially reflects that AI is transforming from "black technology" into an accessible "basic resource" like electricity.
