Seedance 2.0

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

Videofrom $0.06726/second
Seedance 2.0 Fast

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

Videofrom $0.04035/second
Seedance 1.5 Pro

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

UI-TARS 7B

UI-TARS-1.5 is a multimodal vision-language agent optimized for GUI-based environments, including desktop interfaces, web browsers, mobile systems, and games. Built by ByteDance, it builds upon the UI-TARS framework with reinforcement learning-based reasoning, enabling robust action planning and execution across virtual interfaces.

This model achieves state-of-the-art results on a range of interactive and grounding benchmarks, including OSworld, WebVoyager, AndroidWorld, and ScreenSpot. It also demonstrates perfect task completion across diverse Poki games and outperforms prior models in Minecraft agent tasks. UI-TARS-1.5 supports thought decomposition during inference and shows strong scaling across variants, with the 1.5 version notably exceeding the performance of earlier 72B and 7B checkpoints.
