About Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's video generation model, launched 31 July 2026 inside Jimeng AI and Doubao Pro. It generates clips up to 30 seconds at 4K in a single run, producing video and audio together in one pass rather than dubbing audio afterwards, and supports multi-turn extension for longer sequences. Its distinguishing feature is an input system accepting up to 50 multimodal references at once, images, text descriptions, style frames, character references and scene direction, used to steer character and style consistency across a shot. It is served through Volcano Engine Ark and BytePlus, which publish model IDs and per-token pricing, though rollout has been staged rather than open to all developers at once.
