SeedEdit
SeedEdit is an advanced AI image-editing model developed by the ByteDance Seed team that enables users to revise an existing image using natural-language text prompts while preserving unedited regions with high fidelity. It accepts an input image plus a text description of the change (such as style conversion, object removal or replacement, background swap, lighting shift, or text change), and produces a seamlessly edited result that maintains structural integrity, resolution, and identity of the original content. The model leverages a diffusion-based architecture trained via a meta-information embedding pipeline and joint loss (combining diffusion and reward losses) to balance image reconstruction and re-generation, resulting in strong editing controllability, detail retention, and prompt adherence. The latest version (SeedEdit 3.0) supports high-resolution edits (up to 4 K), delivers fast inference (under ~10-15 seconds in many cases), and handles multi-round sequential edits.

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.

Seed1.8
Seed1.8 is ByteDance’s latest generalized agentic AI model designed to bridge understanding and real-world action by combining multimodal perception, agent-like task execution, and wide-ranging reasoning capabilities into a single foundation model that goes beyond simple language generation. It supports multimodal inputs, including text, images, and video, processes very large context windows (hundreds of thousands of tokens at once), and is optimized to handle complex workflows in real environments, such as information retrieval, code generation, GUI interaction, and multi-step decision logic, with efficient, accurate responses suitable for real-world applications. Seed1.8 unifies skills such as search, code understanding, visual context interpretation, and autonomous reasoning so developers and AI systems can build interactive agents and next-generation workflows capable of synthesizing evidence, following instructions deeply, and acting on tasks like automation.

Seed2.0 Lite
Seed2.0 Lite is part of ByteDance’s Seed2.0 family of general-purpose multimodal AI agent models designed to handle complex, real-world tasks with a balanced focus on performance and efficiency. It offers enhanced multimodal understanding and instruction-following capabilities compared with earlier Seed models, enabling it to process and reason about text, visual elements, and structured information reliably for production-grade applications. As a mid-sized model in the series, Lite is optimized to deliver good quality outputs with responsive performance at lower cost and faster inference than the Pro variant while surpassing the previous generation’s capabilities, making it suitable for workflows that require stable reasoning, long-context understanding, and multimodal task execution without needing the highest possible raw performance.
