🎨 ByteDance Releases Seedance 2.0 Mini
ByteDance has introduced a lightweight version of its video generation model, focused on high speed and low cost. The model is optimized for 720p resolution and supports up to 12 multimodal references to ensure character consistency. Generation costs have been reduced by approximately 50% compared to the standard 2.0 version.
🌍 ByteDance is shifting its competitive strategy in AI video, moving from a battle over quality to a battle over production economics. This creates a new "industrial-scale" generation standard, where the decisive factor becomes the price per second of content.
👤 The Mini version can now be used for rapid drafting and storyboarding with minimal costs, leaving the main model for final rendering.
