ByteDance

How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
609 articles mention ByteDance across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 350 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.

- report ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent ordered more than 3 million Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 graphics cards.
3 posts on company and project channels mention ByteDance across the full 15-month record. They come from any company or project channel Compass reads, not only ByteDance's own. They are counted separately from the 609 press articles.

Press coverage and company and project posts are two separate counts. Every press figure on this page, including the monthly line and the rising or falling call, comes from the independent press only. Before October 2026, Compass counted these posts as press coverage. How this is measured.
