The new model in CapCut will have built-in protections for making video from real faces or unauthorized intellectual property.
Seed-2.0-Lite is a balanced model designed for high-frequency enterprise workloads, optimizing for both capability and cost. Its overall performance surpasses the previous-generation Seed-1.8. It is well-suited for production tasks such as unstructured information processing, text content creation, search and recommendation, and data analysis. The model supports long-context processing, multi-source information fusion, multi-step instruction execution, and high-fidelity structured outputs—delivering stable quality while significantly reducing cost.
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.
Seed-OSS-36B-Instruct is a 36B-parameter instruction-tuned reasoning language model from ByteDance’s Seed team, released under Apache-2.0. The model is optimized for general instruction following with strong performance in reasoning, mathematics, coding, tool use/agentic workflows, and multilingual tasks, and is intended for international (i18n) use cases. It is not currently possible to control the reasoning effort.
