According to information on ByteDance’s website, Seedance 2.0 can export content in 2K resolution and generates output about 30 percent faster than its predecessor, Seedance 1.5.
Swiss consulting firm CTOL described the model as the “most advanced AI video generation model available”, saying in tests it outperformed rival tools such as OpenAI’s Sora 2 and Google’s Veo 3.1.
