话说，腾讯前两天刚开完年会，马化腾罕见地推广了自己元宝的新功能，并讲述了腾讯的AI战略。而另一边厢，字节跳动也没闲 着，今天也开了个全员会，而在内部会上，字节跳动CEO 梁汝波认为公司2026年的关键词就是"勇攀高峰"。 啥意思呢？简单来说， 就是，字节要用攀AI高峰，短期内的重点依然是AI助手应用，比如豆包和Dola （海外版AI助手）。 而对于大势的回顾和展望，梁汝波也坦言，"2022 年底 ChatGPT 出来后，很多人问 AI 的应用方向是什么，我们当时就觉得'助 手'是重要方向，基本判断是一个比搜索更大的应用。"（"字节范儿"官方账号披露） 简单来说， 正是因为字节跳动管理层在三年前对方向的正确判断，才出现了字节在AI助手方面的领先。 而这与2024年初时，梁汝波在内部训话"大公司病"时形成了呼应。两年之前，梁汝波曾称字节正在变得平庸，无法取得新的突 破。当时，他举的例子就是，字节很迟钝，对机会的敏感度不如创业公司。公司层面的半年度技术回顾，直到2023年才开始讨论 GPT，而业内做得比较好的大模型创业公司都是在2018年至2021年创立的。 但事实证明，比字节动作慢的公司多了去了，字节这么有忧患意 ...

在2026年开年的全员会议上，字节跳动CEO都说了些什么？ 1月29日，字节跳动召开全年首次会议，"AI时代存在很多重要的机会，我们要追求其中最重要的，去攀登最高的高 峰"，公司CEO梁汝波谈到，在他看来，对于字节跳动来说，"高峰"短期内就是豆包和豆包海外版Dola。 梁汝波回顾了公司2025年的一些业务发展情况。提到AI业务时，他说，字节跳动的基础模型综合实力处于中国第一梯 队，图像和视频生成模型综合能力处于国际第一梯队；豆包的用户规模和增长都比较快，产品体验也有提升，但和全 球最头部的同行比还有差距。 "首先想说的是高峰不常有"，梁汝波表示，他回顾了过去50年科技行业的发展，每15至20年便会涌现一次高峰机会， 微软、谷歌和苹果等企业的成功，就是分别抓住了PC、Web、Mobile时代的高峰机遇。但抓住一次高峰机遇之后，这 些公司还需要再面临新的高峰攀登挑战。 梁汝波认为，后面的高峰比前面高，AI至少是PC+互联网这个级别的高峰。新高峰出现时，有机会参与攀登的公司并 不多，而攀上过前一个高峰的公司往往机会更大，一旦再攀上新高峰，公司也会因此上一个大台阶。 他举例称，苹果通过PC入局，谷歌通过Web上车，都 ...
