ByteDance
Doubao Lite 1.5ByteDance high-speed lightweight model priced at sub-cent levels.
thinking_budgetReasoning models scale test-time compute by generating hidden chain-of-thought (CoT) tokens. These tokens are billed at standard output rates and directly expand latency (TTFT) in exchange for higher GPQA Diamond and SWE-bench Verified problem resolve rates.
