ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming rules out distillation for AI model training

ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming (장이밍) has made clear the company will not use “distillation” techniques to train its AI models, even if it costs more. He has recently become directly involved in the company’s AI strategy, reviewing development progress and hiring. The stance comes as the United States steps up scrutiny of Chinese firms’ use of distillation. ByteDance’s approach is tied to development of its video generation model, Seedance, and large investments in GPUs, data and talent.
