[Seedance 2.5 API Launched, Call Price Approximately 50% Higher Than 2.0] According to monitoring by Beating, Volcano Engine has officially launched the Seedance 2.5 API. The new model can directly generate 30-second videos in a single call, doubling the 15 seconds offered by Seedance 2.0. It can reference up to 50 multimodal assets simultaneously and supports video extension and partial editing. The upgrade focuses on making long videos more controllable. Seedance 2.5 can recognize second-level timestamps in prompts and arrange shots and actions accordingly. In the official demonstration, it managed to coordinate six to seven animal characters within 30 seconds. Despite continuous overlaps and occlusions among the characters, their appearances and size relationships remained stable. With enhanced capabilities comes increased cost. Volcano Ark currently prices the API at ¥42 per million tokens with video input and ¥70 per million tokens without video input; Seedance 2.0 was priced at ¥28 and ¥46 respectively. The new model is approximately 50% more expensive. [Original Link]
