Doubao has announced plans to introduce a "Doubao Professional Edition" aimed at professionals in fields such as software development, data analysis, and financial analysis. Currently in the testing phase, the new edition will cater to high-level productivity needs, with details on the launch date and services to be revealed through official channels. Core functions for general users will remain free, and Doubao will continue to enhance user experiences with new models and capabilities. The company also addressed false online claims about forcing users to purchase memberships by degrading basic functions. Doubao clarified that these claims are inaccurate and stem from marketing accounts spreading misinformation. The company reassured users that existing services, including search, Q&A, and multimedia dialogues, will remain unaffected.
