AI Evolution Express: Google to Launch Two New TPU Chips, ByteDance Releases Seedream5.5

Google will launch two new tensor processing chips, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, expected to hit the market next year. ByteDance released its Doubao image creation model Seedream5.5; its API continues the two-part billing of input image plus output image, with a single 2K square image edit costing about 0.28 yuan, less than half that of Seedream 5.0 Pro. Alibaba Cloud raised the subscription quota for the personal edition of Token Plan; the monthly fees for the Lite, Essential, and Standard tiers remain unchanged, while monthly quotas increased by about 74% to 78%.
