ByteDance’s Doubao Work adds Kimi, GLM and DeepSeek models for enterprise users

ByteDance announced that its Doubao Work AI office agent will offer third-party models to team and enterprise subscriptions, starting with Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3.1 Pro, Zhipu’s GLM-5.3 and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash Pandaily. The models appear alongside ByteDance’s own Doubao models in the app’s picker and are enabled by default.

Usage of any of the new models is deducted from the AI credits an organization already holds in Doubao Work, eliminating the need to buy separate access or submit individual applications to each provider. Administrators can assign model access to specific members, departments, groups or the entire company, and can enable all models from a single provider with one toggle.

The change shifts Doubao Work’s value proposition from a showcase of ByteDance-built models to an agent layer that routes tasks to the most suitable model, such as a coding-focused model for engineering work or a long-document model for drafting.

Our read: By aggregating credit billing and permission controls, Doubao Work reduces procurement friction for Chinese enterprises, potentially accelerating adoption of external foundation models while positioning the agent interface as the primary differentiator.
