Doubao Work adds Kimi K3.1 Pro, GLM-5.3 and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash for team and enterprise plans

Doubao Work, ByteDance's AI office agent app, said on October 29 that it is opening third-party models to business customers. The first batch includes Kimi K3.1 Pro from Moonshot AI, GLM-5.3 from Zhipu and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. All three appear in the app's model picker next to ByteDance's own Doubao models, according to a report from Pandaily.

What changed

The update applies to Doubao Work's team and enterprise subscription plans and is switched on by default. Companies do not need to buy access from each model provider or file a separate application. Usage is deducted from the AI credits an organization already holds in Doubao Work.

Administrator controls

Administrators decide who can use which model. Access can be granted to:

• Individual members
• Departments
• Groups
• The whole company

Admins can also enable every model from one provider at once, or set up a single model on its own.

Models in the first batch

Model	Provider
Kimi K3.1 Pro	Moonshot AI
GLM-5.3	Zhipu
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash	DeepSeek

Context window sizes, per-model credit rates and benchmark scores for these models in Doubao Work have not yet been disclosed. ByteDance did not say which other third-party models would follow, describing the current lineup as the first group of models to join.

Context

Pandaily reports that the app was until now largely a showcase for ByteDance's Doubao models inside an agent that can work across files, browsers and desktop apps. Pandaily describes the move as one that makes the agent layer, rather than the underlying model, the main product. It also notes that teams can now choose a model by task, for example a coding-focused model for engineering work and a different model for long documents.

Pandaily places the change within a wider pattern among Chinese desktop agent products. Xiaomi's MiMo Desktop added DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi and Qwen models this week, and several other agent tools have made similar moves.

Doubao Work has been shipping features at a steady pace. Recent additions include:

• Saving recorded computer actions as reusable skills
• One-click import of chat history, skills and memory from other AI tools
• An infinite creation canvas
• Parallel agents
• Local GUI control on Mac

What this means

For organizations already on Doubao Work's team or enterprise plans, trying Kimi K3.1 Pro, GLM-5.3 or DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash requires no new vendor contracts or applications. Usage draws on the same AI credit balance. Because access is on by default and administrators can scope it by member, department, group or company, IT teams can restrict specific models without blocking the rest.

The change also shifts what Doubao Work sells. ByteDance's own Doubao models now sit in the same picker as models from Moonshot AI, Zhipu and DeepSeek, so the product's value rests on the agent features (skills, parallel agents, desktop control, memory import) as much as on the model behind them. Whether the third-party models carry different credit costs than Doubao models is not yet disclosed.
