Since Baidu, the first domestic company to announce the launch of its "文心一言" (Wenxin Yiyuan) large model, after more than half a year, ByteDance's large model "豆包" (Dou Bao) has finally arrived. Let's take a look at what mysteries this "豆包" holds.

豆包's testing is not limited to a specific number of users, and there is no need to wait in line. All users can log in through their phone number, TikTok, or Apple ID. It supports the web platform at https://www.doubao.com/ and has opened the Android download channel. For iOS, you need to use TestFlight to install it and require an invitation redemption code to use it.

After downloading the 豆包 (Dou Bao) app on the Android platform, registration can be done without the need for an invitation code. Upon entering the default page, users can find various intelligent chat interfaces, including the AI robot "豆包" (Dou Bao), an English learning assistant, an all-purpose writing assistant, and the chatty companion "小宁" (Xiao Ning). These intelligent entities can provide users with multilingual and multifunctional artificial intelligence services, including but not limited to Q&A, intelligent content creation, and conversation. From the overall functionality and user experience, "豆包" is already capable of meeting users' basic needs.

ByteDance acquired the Pinyin domain "doubao.com" specifically for its large model 豆包 (Dou Bao) app. The exact price is unknown, but considering that this domain was registered in February 2006 and has been in existence for 17 years, it is likely not inexpensive. It's indeed a highly suitable domain for the app.

Many major internet companies indeed use Pinyin domain names for their official websites, such as "baidu.com, taobao.com, huawei.com, toutiao.com, and douyin.com," among others. It's evident that choosing the right domain name is a significant factor in the success of a project.

For those interested in buying or selling domain names, there are numerous platforms like DN.com that offer a wide range of Pinyin, two-letter, three-letter, and other domain names. It's a good resource for individuals and businesses looking to acquire valuable domain names.
