Fire Volcano CEO Tan Dai: The market size of large models will expand tenfold next year, and the more people participate, the greater the growth potential.

"Next year, the large-scale model market will expand tenfold. This is not a zero-sum game. Everyone is welcome to join the competition." On December 18th, during an interview with reporters, Tan Dai, the president of Volcano Engine, talked about his predictions for the competition in the large-scale model market. According to the market research firm IDC, Volcano Engine ranks first in China's public cloud large model service call volume, with market share increasing from 46.4% in 2024 to 49.2% this year. "This year is the year of AI agents, and it will explode even more next year." Tan Dai predicted that in his view, whether in daily office work, short films, or video creation fields, intelligent agents have already been implemented and applied this year. He expects that their capabilities will become even more powerful next year, opening up greater possibilities and turning "one-person companies" into a reality.
