Seed 2.0 Code is ByteDance Seed's coding model. It is tuned for front-end development, programming across many languages and running inside coding-agent tools such as Claude Code, Kilo and OpenCode. It also reads images and video, which helps when the task starts from a design or a screen recording.

It accepts text, image and video input and returns text, and supports tool calling, structured JSON output and streaming. Reasoning can be switched on when a problem needs more thought and left off when speed matters. Seed-2.0-Code is commonly used for front-end development, coding agents in IDEs and CLIs, multi-language programming and UI-from-design work. Hormouz serves it behind an OpenAI-compatible API: point your base URL at Hormouz, drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs without changes.

Pricing is usage-based: $0.5 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens. There is no fixed monthly fee, and you pay only for the tokens you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
