Global Exclusive: Only Three Companies: Volcano Engine Token Daily Average Token Calls Exceed One Quadrillion, Rising Over 60% in Less Than Two Months

According to 1M AI News monitoring, the daily average cloud-based large-scale model invocation volume of ByteDance's cloud computing business Volcano Engine has exceeded 1,000 trillion tokens, rising over 60% in less than two months since the Spring Festival. Currently, globally only OpenAI, Google, and ByteDance have reached this level, with ByteDance's consumption mainly coming from the Chinese market while the overseas market is in a rapid growth stage.

A Volcano Engine spokesperson stated that the growth has been achieved under constraints, and the video generation model Seedance 2.0 API has not yet been officially launched overseas. Over the past month, token consumption from individual users has increased by about 16 times, and products like OpenClaw are the main driving force pushing AI to mainstream users.

Previously, the Volcano Engine set a target for its 2026 Model as a Service (MaaS) business revenue to exceed 10 billion yuan. With the release of models like Seed 2.0, Seedance 2.0, and the continuous popularity of OpenClaw, the team has raised the revenue target. ByteDance started its cloud computing business latest among domestic competitors, viewing MaaS as the core battlefield for overtaking on a curve.

The National Data Bureau revealed yesterday that China's daily token invocation volume in March this year has exceeded 1,400 trillion. At the beginning of 2024, this number was 100 billion, skyrocketing to 1,000 trillion by the end of 2025, a growth of over a thousand times in two years.
