ByteDance recently quietly launched an AI model sharing community platform called "Lumi Lumi", and is currently only open to internal testing for whitelisted users. The platform aims to provide functions such as AI model upload and sharing, Workflow construction, and LoRA training, with the intention of building a complete AI model ecosystem. This marks ByteDance's further layout in the AI field and also indicates that the AI model sharing community platform will become a new battlefield for future competition in technology companies.
On October 31, ByteDance quietly launched an AI model sharing community platform called "Lumi Lumi". It is reported that the platform will provide functions such as model upload and sharing, Workflow construction, and LoRA training. It is still in the internal testing stage and is only open to whitelisted users.
The reporter found that when users scan the QR code to log in to the platform, they will receive a prompt saying "No access has been obtained yet, welcome to join after the platform is opened." Public information shows that the platform's operating entity is Beijing Zitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd., and the domain name artistrylab.net it uses completed the review on September 26, 2023.
In fact, the Lumi platform is the latest layout in ByteDance’s AI landscape. It is understood that ByteDance has extensive layout in the field of AI: in terms of big models, it has developed its own bean bag big model; in the field of ChatBot, it has launched bean bag and Xiao Wukong; in the field of AI social networking, it is testing Douyin AI interactive space internally ; Developed cat box (original phone furnace) in the field of AI virtual companionship; in addition, it has also launched Zhimeng (AI image generation), Zhichuang (AI marketing creation platform), Zhimeng (AI video editing), and buttons (Agent construction platform ), Doubao Aixue (AI education product), Sponge Music (AI music generation), and MarsCode (code generation).
It is worth noting that the "Lumi Lumi" platform launched this time is quite similar to LiblibAI in terms of functional positioning. Data shows that as of May 2024, LiblibAI has developed into China's largest AI image generation platform, gathering nearly 10 million professional AI image creators in total, ranking first in China in terms of user scale. The platform has more than 100,000 creative models, and the number of AI images produced and shared by its model community has exceeded 230 million, building a complete ecological chain covering AI content creation, sharing, copyright and sales.
Industry insiders believe that ByteDance's launch of the Lumi platform at this time shows its comprehensive layout strategy in the AI field. In addition to competing with domestic competitors such as LiblibAI, Byte also faces competitive pressure from international AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. With the increasing demand for AI creation, the model sharing community platform may become a new battlefield for major technology companies. At present, ByteDance has not issued a formal statement on the Lumi platform.
The launch of Lumi Lumi platform indicates ByteDance's continued efforts in the AI field and the increasingly fierce competition in the AI model sharing community market. In the future, the development of this platform deserves continuous attention.
