CoinFeed reported on June 3rd that, according to an official statement from Doubao, Doubao plans to launch "Doubao Professional Edition" to address high-level productivity needs such as software development, data analysis, professional design, process automation, financial analysis, and scientific research. The product is currently in the testing phase, and the official launch date and specific service content will be announced through official channels. The official statement emphasizes that core functions for general users, including search and answering, text creation, image generation, and voice and video dialogue services, will remain free and will not affect existing user experiences and habits. Furthermore, Doubao will continue to provide new models, capabilities, and experience upgrades to free users, and some features in the Professional Edition will also offer a certain amount of free credit. In addition, Doubao specifically clarifies that recent online claims of "forcing users to purchase memberships by lowering the basic functionality experience" are false.
