Seed

Seedream 5.0 Flash is an image generation and editing model from ByteDance Seed. It is the fast, cost-efficient tier of the Seedream 5.0 family, suited for high-volume production and interactive editing workflows that need precise edits at low latency.

Seed Audio 1.0 is ByteDance Seed's non-streaming audio generation model. It produces speech and other audio from a natural-language text prompt that can describe the desired voice, tone, and sound effects, optionally guided by a Seed speaker ID or a reference audio clip for voice cloning. Output is limited to 120 seconds per request and is billed per second of generated audio. Suited to audiobooks, voiceovers, games, and similar workloads.

Seedream 5.0 Lite is an image generation model from ByteDance Seed. It is suited for professional visual creation that benefits from web-connected retrieval, complex-prompt comprehension, visual references, and broad knowledge coverage.

Seedream 5.0 Pro is an image generation and editing model from ByteDance Seed. It is suited for commercial visual-production workflows that require precise editing control, lifelike scenes, and natural rendering.

Seedance 2.0 Mini is a video generation model from ByteDance. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frame control, and multimodal reference-to-video with image, video, and audio inputs. It supports 480p and 720p output for 4-15 second videos. The number of tokens is given by (height of output video * width of output video * duration * 24) / 1024

Seed 2.1 Turbo is a multimodal model from ByteDance Seed for coding and long-horizon agent workflows. It is suited for end-to-end software delivery, multi-step task execution, and understanding visual and video content, with capabilities for planning, debugging, and self-correction.

Seed 2.0 Code is a model from ByteDance Seed optimized for agentic coding. It is suited for frontend development, multilingual programming tasks, and coding-agent workflows in tools such as Claude Code, Kilo, and OpenCode.

Seedance 2.5 is a video generation model from ByteDance. It is suited for long-form storytelling, multimodal reference-based generation, video editing, and video extension. It supports first-frame and first-and-last-frame control, up to 50 image, video, and audio reference assets, optional generated audio, and multilingual audiovisual generation.

Seedance 2.0 Fast is a video generation model from ByteDance. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frame control, and multimodal reference-to-video. It prioritizes generation speed and lower cost over maximum output quality. The number of tokens is given by (height of output video * width of output video * duration * 24) / 1024

Seedance 2.0 is a video generation model from ByteDance. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frame control, and multimodal reference-to-video. It is particularly strong at preserving character consistency, visual style, and camera movement from reference material. The number of tokens is given by (height of output video * width of output video * duration * 24) / 1024

ByteDance's next-generation audio-visual generation model with a 4.5B parameter Dual-Branch Diffusion Transformer architecture. Seedance 1.5 Pro generates video and audio simultaneously in a single unified pass — eliminating the timing issues of sequential audio dubbing. Supports multi-language lip-sync (English, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and more), cinematic camera control (pan, tilt, zoom, orbit), multi-character dialogue, and character consistency across shots. Produces clips from 4–12 seconds at up to 1080p. The number of tokens is given by (height of output video * width of output video * duration * 24) / 1024

Seed-2.0-Lite is a versatile, cost‑efficient enterprise workhorse that delivers strong multimodal and agent capabilities while offering noticeably lower latency, making it a practical default choice for most production workloads across text, vision, and tools. Engineered for high-frequency visual understanding and agentic workflows, it's an ideal choice for deployment at scale with minimal latency.

Seed-2.0-mini targets latency-sensitive, high-concurrency, and cost-sensitive scenarios, emphasizing fast response and flexible inference deployment. It delivers performance comparable to ByteDance-Seed-1.6, supports 256k context, four reasoning effort modes (minimal/low/medium/high), multimodal understanding, and is optimized for lightweight tasks where cost and speed take priority.

Seedream 4.5 is the latest in-house image generation model developed by ByteDance. Compared with Seedream 4.0, it delivers comprehensive improvements, especially in editing consistency, including better preservation of subject details, lighting, and color tone. It also enhances portrait refinement and small-text rendering. The model’s multi-image composition capabilities have been significantly strengthened, and both reasoning performance and visual aesthetics continue to advance, enabling more accurate and artistically expressive image generation. Pricing is $0.04 per output image, regardless of size.

Seed 1.6 Flash is an ultra-fast multimodal deep thinking model by ByteDance Seed, supporting both text and visual understanding. It features a 256k context window and can generate outputs of up to 16k tokens.

Seed 1.6 is a general-purpose model released by the ByteDance Seed team. It incorporates multimodal capabilities and adaptive deep thinking with a 256K context window.
