Seaweed - ByteDance's AI video generation model, based on the Transformer architecture.

What is Seaweed?

Seaweed, developed by ByteDance, is an AI video generation model that supports both text-based and image-based video modes. Based on the Transformer architecture and trained using spatiotemporal compression technology, it natively supports multi-resolution output to adapt to different screen ratios. Seaweed generates 720p, 24fps, 5-second videos by default, which can be extended to 20-30 seconds. Videos generated by the Seaweed model are highly realistic, detailed, smooth in motion, and feature professional color and lighting effects. It is widely used in e-commerce, cultural tourism, education, film and television, and other fields, significantly lowering the barrier to video production and improving content creation efficiency.
