en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the 2026 Volcano Engine Force Original Power Conference, Volcano Engine President Tan Dai announced that as of June 2026, the daily token calls of the Doubao large model reached 180 trillion, an increase of over 1,500 times compared to its launch, and more than 10 times growth over the past year.
ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo stated at the conference that the company's annual keyword is "Climbing New Heights," with a core focus on enhancing large model capabilities. Volcano Engine's PaaS business has been transformed into the company's foundational business, with long-term and steadfast investment in the MaaS business. Additionally, a new version of the video generation model Seedance will introduce a 3D white-box pre-visualization feature, becoming the first in the industry to offer this capability.
Previous reports indicated that as of the first half of the year, the Doubao application, used by over 200 million users daily, generated less than one million yuan in daily revenue, primarily from e-commerce commissions. By May this year, based on Volcano Engine's public API prices, combined with the gross margin of the Doubao large model and user usage habits, and excluding the cost of the computing center built to train the Doubao model, reports estimated that the daily computing cost of Doubao amounted to tens of millions of yuan.
Two months ago, a ByteDance executive visited Anthropic. Upon return, ByteDance began adjusting its AI resource allocation, shifting focus from consumer-facing products like Doubao to enterprise-oriented services. ByteDance's Seedance has proven the viability of the enterprise service direction. Sources indicate that Seedance's annualized recurring revenue (ARR) has reached $2 billion (approximately RMB 13.574 billion), with monthly revenue exceeding RMB 1 billion, a level that can roughly offset Doubao's computing costs. The vast majority of Seedance's revenue comes from enterprise clients.
