火山引擎：以智能体为负载的人工智能时代加速到来

Core Insights - The era of artificial intelligence (AI) driven by intelligent agents is accelerating, leading to the evolution of cloud architecture from traditional IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models to a model-centric AI cloud-native architecture [1] - In this new architecture, models become the core of software, and Model as a Service (MaaS) is identified as the optimal way to utilize these models [1] Group 1: AI Cloud Architecture - The traditional IT architecture is becoming ineffective as the AI era progresses, necessitating a shift to a model-centric cloud-native architecture [1] - The new architecture focuses on intelligent agents, with cloud platforms and middleware assembling tokens into intelligent agents for seamless communication [1] Group 2: Product Launch and Performance - Volcano Engine launched two new models: Doubao Model 1.8 and Doubao Video Generation Model 1.5 Pro, optimized for multi-modal intelligent agent scenarios [2] - The Doubao model family is now ranked among the top globally in multi-modal understanding and generation capabilities, with a daily token usage exceeding 50 trillion, making it the leading model in China and third globally [2] Group 3: Cost Reduction Initiatives - To reduce model usage costs for enterprise users, Volcano Engine introduced the "AI Savings Plan," which includes tiered discounts for all pay-as-you-go model products [2] - Users can save up to 47% on usage costs as their consumption increases under this new pricing model [2]
