ByteDance confirmed that one intern was fired in August for "serious disciplinary violations" and for allegedly "maliciously interfering" with model training tasks.
The company stated that the intern's actions did not impact any of ByteDance's commercial projects or large models, refuting rumors of significant financial losses.
ByteDance accused the intern of misleadingly representing his role, suggesting connections to the AI Lab while actually being part of the commercial technology team.
Despite ByteDance's clarifications, rumors surrounding the incident persisted, with commenters questioning the intern's team's past connection to the AI Lab.
