【#Tech24H】The rollout of paid subscription plans for Doubao, an AI application under ByteDance, is approaching. Doubao has started gray-box testing of a "Professional Edition" paid subscription with a select group of users, some of whom have received relevant subscription reminders while using the expert mode. The testing is expected to continue through late June, after which the paid subscription service will officially launch. Feature updates will be announced at the Force Conference held around the same time. The subscription fee for the Professional Edition is consistent with the pricing previously updated in the Apple App Store. The free version will remain available for long-term use at no cost. Doubao has made it clear that the Professional Edition aims to meet the needs of professional users, while free users will continue to receive new models and an improved experience. [ By Zhang Liyan ]
