About
Seed-2.0-Mini is a ByteDance Seed model aimed at latency-sensitive, high-concurrency and cost-sensitive workloads. Its stated focus is fast responses and flexible inference deployment, with performance comparable to ByteDance-Seed-1.6. It accepts text, images and video, and supports multimodal understanding. The context window is 262,144 tokens, with a maximum output of 131,072 tokens. Four reasoning effort modes are available: minimal, low, medium and high. The model can use tools and supports vision; it outputs text. Its model ID is `bytedance-seed/seed-2.0-mini`, and it was released on 2026-02-26. Pricing is USD 0.1 per 1M input tokens and USD 0.4 per 1M output tokens. Those limits and modality options make context size, input type and response budget central considerations when fitting it into a stack.
Who it is for
Teams prioritizing response speed, concurrency or cost may consider it for workloads that use text, images or video. It also suits applications that need selectable reasoning effort or tool support.
