These figures come from a third-party promotional segment and were not confirmed on the fetched official page text.

The official pages fetched give only the announcement title, so details on access, pricing, API availability and limits are not confirmed here. The model appears to be offered through ByteDance's products and third-party platforms such as Higgsfield. Weights are not known to be released.
