seedance-2.5: image generation model

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's flagship video model with native audio and native 30-second generation. Served through Hormouz.

Pricing:: $0.1028 – $0.9676 / sec of output
Type:: video

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's flagship video model: native audio, native 30-second generation and support for large multimodal references.

It accepts up to 30 reference images, 10 reference videos and 10 reference audio files, and covers editing and extension modes alongside plain text-to-video. Output is 480p or 720p, as mp4 or mov.

Pricing is per second of output video and depends on the resolution and on whether a reference video is present: from $0.1028/second (480p text-to-video) up to $0.9676/second (720p with a reference video). Supplying a reference video is by far the most expensive axis.

On Hormouz, Seedance 2.5 runs as an asynchronous prediction job and is reachable from inside Iran with no foreign credit card required.
