Doubao is starting to charge fees! SD-WAN helps you stably access overseas AI services!

Hot Topic Summary: 

According to 36Kr, Doubao, a well-known Chinese AI product, plans to officially launch its commercial paid subscription system in late June. According to Doubao's paid version service announcement on the App Store page, it is expected to offer three membership tiers: Standard (68 RMB/month, 688 RMB/year), Enhanced (200 RMB/month, 2048 RMB/year), and Professional (500 RMB/month, 5088 RMB/year).

Doubao's confidence in charging for AI stems from the fact that users are inseparable from it. Indeed, in today's rapidly developing internet age, our reliance on AI has deepened significantly in both work and life: writing code, copywriting, creating graphics, making videos, and even answering everyday questions—all rely on it.

However, as many have criticized, "Doubao is just spouting nonsense, yet it dares to charge?" If we compare Chinese and international AI models side-by-side, many will share a common feeling: in terms of depth of understanding, quality of answers, and creativity generation, foreign AI generally does indeed outperform Chinese AI.

According to the latest rankings from LMARaena, a globally renowned blind testing leaderboard for large AI models, the highest-ranking Chinese model is Qianwen, barely reaching 15th place, while the top ten are all occupied by foreign models such as Claude, Gemini, and GPT.

So, how do you use foreign AI services?

Many people choose to use a VPN

to save money or for convenience,

but this method often leads to many problems.

1.Slow access, lag, and frequent disconnections: Webpages often fail to load, chat windows remain unresponsive, and file uploads frequently fail, severely impacting work efficiency.

2. Shared IPs, unstable: These tools are typically shared by multiple users, resulting in frequent IP address changes, easily triggering risk control mechanisms. Furthermore, if one person violates the rules, all users on the entire connection will be affected.

3. Non-compliant, extremely high risk: These tools lack the necessary operating licenses in China and are subject to potential line disconnections, service unavailability, and even legal risks, making them unreliable for long-term use.
