ByteDance Seed 2.0 Code Preview
Preview of ByteDance's coding-tuned Seed 2.0 model for code generation and agentic programming, with tool calling.
ByteDance's Seed 2.0 Code Preview is a cloud text model. It is multimodal: alongside a text prompt it accepts images, then replies with generated text. Its context window handles up to 262K input tokens and up to 131K output tokens, and it supports adjustable reasoning effort for harder problems. Generation can be tuned with system instructions, temperature, and top-p sampling. It runs through ByteDance using your own API key, from $0.50 per million input tokens.
