Notes
Seedance 2.0
One-line summary: ByteDance Seed / Dreamina image- and text-to-video model (March 2026); leads the 2026-08-18 Artificial Analysis image-to-video (with audio) Elo table at $9.07/min.
What it is
A hosted multimodal video generator appearing on Artificial Analysis as "Dreamina Seedance 2.0 720p." This ingest only has AA Elo/price plus Runway's third-party credit meter — not a ByteDance technical paper. From 2026-08-18-autoresearch-best-ai-video-generation-tools.
Why it matters to ai-video-generation
For still-image animation (the I2V neighbour of pose-driven avatars), Seedance 2.0 is the independent Elo leader as of 2026-08-18, ahead of minimax-h3 and gemini-omni-flash. That is a general I2V ranking, not an identity-preservation bench.
Key facts
- Vendor: ByteDance Seed (Dreamina).
- Released (AA): March 2026.
- AA I2V with audio (2026-08-18): Elo 1,197 ±7, 13,994 samples, $9.07/min — first.
- AA T2V with audio: Elo 1,222 ±6, third.
- On Runway's credit table: Seedance 2.0 720p is 36 credits/sec (much more expensive in-app than Runway Act-Two at 5/sec).
Strengths (from our perspective)
- Best independent I2V-with-audio score in the fetched AA table.
- Still cheaper per AA-minute than Kling 3.0 Pro or Veo 3.1 Standard.
Weaknesses (from our perspective)
- Closed; no architecture detail in this source.
- 720p variant is what AA ranked; 1080p/4K Runway meters are much more expensive (40–150 credits/sec).
- Not an avatar / mocap tool.
