ByteDance
Platform
Prompt development, evaluation and tracing platform for AI agents -- versioned prompt debugging, evaluator-driven experiments and end-to-end observability -- published as an open-source edition of the hosted 扣子罗盘.
Toloka
Platform
An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.
A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.
No counterpart
ByteDance sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
ByteDance's consumer AI assistant for China -- chat, writing, translation and programming help, with Seedance video generation built into the app.
AI image and video generation platform built around Seedance (video, up to 30-second 4K generations with audio) and Seedream (image) models, with style transfer, an AI photo editor, and a direct export path into CapCut's own cloud editor for CapCut/TikTok-ready cuts.
AI work assistant from TRAE that breaks a request into tasks and runs them in the cloud to produce slides, data analyses, research write-ups, documents and small apps, on desktop, web and mobile.
Agent platform
No-code platform for building AI agents and workflows from models, plugins and knowledge, then publishing them to chat channels or into other software through web SDKs and APIs.
Open-source, self-hostable edition of Coze's agent development environment -- visual tools for building, debugging and deploying AI agents and workflows, released under Apache 2.0.
Developer tool
AI coding environment from TRAE with an IDE mode that brings agents into ordinary editing and a SOLO mode in which an autonomous agent plans, writes and deploys code, plus custom sub-agents, MCP tools and next-edit autocomplete.
Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for ByteDance yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.
Data service
Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.
Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.
A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
