Businesses wanting an AI model capable of multimodal understanding and batch inference where throughput and cost-effectiveness are priorities
About Seed2.0 Mini
Seed2.0 Mini is the smallest member of ByteDance’s Seed2.0 series of general-purpose multimodal agent models, designed for high-throughput inference and dense deployment while retaining the core strengths of its larger siblings in multimodal understanding and instruction following. Part of a family that also includes Pro and Lite, the Mini variant is optimized for high-concurrency and batch generation workloads, making it suitable for applications where efficient processing of many requests at scale matters as much as capability. Like other Seed2.0 models, it benefits from systematic enhancements in visual reasoning, motion perception, structured extraction from complex inputs like text and images, and reliable execution of multi-step instructions, but it trades some raw reasoning and output quality for faster, more cost-effective inference and better deployment efficiency.

Claude Haiku 4.5
Anthropic has launched Claude Haiku 4.5, its latest small-language model designed to deliver near-frontier performance at significantly lower cost. The model provides similar coding and reasoning quality as the company’s mid-tier Sonnet 4, yet it runs at roughly one-third of the cost and more than twice the speed. In benchmarks cited by Anthropic, Haiku 4.5 meets or exceeds Sonnet 4’s performance in key tasks such as code generation and multi-step “computer use” workflows. It is optimized for real-time, low-latency scenarios such as chat assistants, customer service agents, and pair-programming support. Haiku 4.5 is made available via the Claude API under the identifier “claude-haiku-4-5” and supports large-scale deployments where cost, responsiveness, and near-frontier intelligence matter. Claude Haiku 4.5 is available now on Claude Code and our apps. Its efficiency means you can accomplish more within your usage limits while maintaining premium model performance.

MiniMax M3
MiniMax M3 is an open-weight multimodal AI model designed for coding, agentic workflows, long-context reasoning, and complex automation tasks. The model combines frontier-level coding performance, native multimodal understanding, and a context window of up to 1 million tokens. MiniMax M3 uses MiniMax Sparse Attention to improve long-context efficiency while reducing compute requirements for large-scale inputs. It supports text, image, and video understanding, making it useful for workflows that combine code, documents, visual references, and tool-driven tasks. The model is built for repository-scale reasoning, software engineering, autonomous task execution, tool calling, and multi-step agent workflows. MiniMax M3 helps developers, AI teams, and enterprises build capable agents that can reason across large contexts and work with multimodal information.

Seed2.1 Pro
Seed2.1 Pro is a next-generation AI productivity model built to handle complex, real-world work across general agents, code engineering, and multimodal understanding. It reliably executes multi-step tasks for high-value office work and everyday consultation, including project planning, file processing, research, tool use, spreadsheet analysis, lesson-plan slide generation, and industry report creation across tools and environments. In software development workflows, Seed2.1 Pro strengthens end-to-end delivery by improving requirement understanding, architecture design, coding, debugging, implementation, and validation. Its agent capabilities are designed to make steady progress on difficult tasks and return practical, verifiable results rather than isolated responses. The model also advances knowledge, reasoning, visual understanding, spatial reasoning, and long-context processing, giving agents a stronger foundation for complex decision-making and execution.

Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance Seed’s new-generation video creation model for long-form storytelling, multimodal reference-based generation, and precise video editing. The model can generate high-quality 30-second audio-video clips in a single pass and supports multi-round extensions for creating longer videos with consistent characters, environments, pacing, and audiovisual style. Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 images, 10 video clips, and 10 audio clips as references, giving creators more control over subjects, scenes, motion, camera work, and creative direction. It improves transitions, visual consistency, audio-video synchronization, object textures, skin and eye details, lighting, color, and cinematic realism. The model also supports timestamp-level editing, green screen editing, camera perspective editing, clay render referencing, motion referencing, and reference-based editing.
