# ByteDance Trains AI Model With Up To 10 Trillion Parameters

Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

ByteDance is training an artificial intelligence model with as many as 10 trillion parameters, the Financial Times reports, potentially putting it near Anthropic’s estimated Mythos 5 scale. Reuters could not independently verify the report, and ByteDance did not immediately comment. The model would be more than three times the size of Moonshot AI’s 2.8 trillion-parameter Kimi K3. Chinese models from Meituan and DeepSeek previously had about 1.6 trillion parameters. The ByteDance system is in pre-training, which typically lasts three to six months before fine-tuning and release. Parameter counts offer a rough measure of model scale, not capability. Anthropic and OpenAI do not disclose counts for several leading systems, making direct comparisons difficult.
