Doubao Work Adds Kimi, GLM and DeepSeek Models and Opens Access to New Users

On October 29, Doubao Work first opened third-party model configuration to team and enterprise subscription customers, letting organizations route through external models without separate procurement or approval from model vendors, with usage drawn directly from existing AI credits. On November 12, Doubao Work announced a product update that formally added Kimi K3.1 Pro, GLM 5.3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash to its selectable list, alongside its in-house Doubao 2.1 Lite and Doubao 2.1 Pro. Users can now switch between in-house and third-party models depending on the task at hand, and the capability was extended beyond the earlier enterprise cohort to a broader user base.

On pricing, Doubao Work displays a quota consumption multiplier for each model on the model selection page, meaning a lower multiplier consumes fewer credits for the same task. Users are encouraged to pick models by weighing task complexity, response speed, and cost. The platform also rolled out a limited-time promotion: models participating in the program receive discounted quota consumption during designated slots on workdays and holidays, and the multipliers for Doubao 2.1 Lite and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash were lowered. According to Wall Street CN, Doubao Work is additionally offering new users a 30-day free subscription, and it noted that Tencent WorkBuddy had earlier integrated products from multiple vendors including Hunyuan, GLM, MiniMax, Kimi, and DeepSeek, using an Auto mode that routes each request to the most suitable model. Ifeng's same-day report stated that the precise scope of availability and billing details had not yet been disclosed, so public information currently stops at the multi-model rollout and the new promotion.
