ByteDance said roughly 10% of its total compute is used for training and
inference of video-generation models and called recent allocation figures
“unreliable.” The figures came from an investor-relations disclosure by Zhongwen
Online that said 55% of China’s AI token consumption goes to short dramas/video
generation, 24% to e‑commerce ads and 15% to R&D, and that token use for AI
short dramas/video now exceeds software development and is the largest
token-consumption scenario.
