ByteDance

ByteDance is a technology company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Beijing. It describes its mission as "Inspire Creativity, Enrich Life" and runs apps such as TikTok, Douyin, CapCut and Lark.

ByteDance develops its foundation models in its Seed team. Seedream is its image generation family, currently Seedream 5.0 Pro, and Seedance generates video, currently Seedance 2.5. BAGEL is an open-source multimodal model published by ByteDance Seed.

Several ByteDance products in our catalog build on these models. CapCut is a video editor with AI tools for editing, effects, images and audio. Dreamina generates images and videos from text prompts and reference images. TRAE is an AI coding environment with a built-in assistant and agent features, and it is also available as a plugin for existing code editors. Coze is a platform for building AI agents and assistants for office tasks, and Pippit, built on CapCut, creates marketing videos and product images for online shops.

ByteDance publishes its consumer apps under their own brands, so the company name rarely appears in the products themselves. This page brings the official ByteDance AI products in the Best-AI.org catalog together with the model families behind them, each with its source and the date it was checked.
