A paper co-authored by former ByteDance intern Tian Keyu reportedly won a Best Paper award at NeurIPS, one of the most prestigious annual conferences in the field of AI. The award comes after Tian was sued by ByteDance for allegedly disrupting big-model training. The award is expected to be presented at the NeurIPS conference in Vancouver from Dec. 10 to 15. In November, ByteDance filed a lawsuit against Tian, accusing him of tampering with code to disrupt the company’s internal model training. ByteDance is seeking RMB 8 million ($1.1 million) in damages and RMB 20,000 ($275) in reasonable expenses, along with a public apology.
