Seed 2.0 Pro is ByteDance’s large proprietary tier for visual puzzles, documents, video, and other unstructured information. It handles text, images, and video with 256K tokens of context. The parameter count is unpublished, with access provided through ByteDance and BytePlus APIs.
ByteDance documents Seed 1.8 as the direct predecessor and describes stronger handling of unstructured inputs. Pro is therefore the performance-oriented Seed 2.0 tier, not a name for freely available weights.
