Seedance 2.5, released August 2026 per the live catalog. New Seedance · Seedream releases join this page automatically when they land on Runware.

Production notes

Every price on this page is the model's published rate from the live Runware catalog, using the cheapest listed configuration unless stated otherwise. Prices vary with resolution, duration, quality tier, or token volume, so check the pricing table on each model page before estimating unit economics.

The Runware catalog does not publish per-model latency figures, so this page does not quote end-to-end timings. Where a model's own description commits to speed (for example sub-second generation or realtime streaming), that claim is repeated here. For anything else, benchmark the exact models in the Playground with your own payload sizes before committing to an SLA.

Models are addressed by versioned AIR identifiers, so a workflow pinned to specific model versions keeps producing the same behaviour as new versions ship. Adopt upgrades deliberately by re-running your evaluation set against the new version before switching production traffic.

About this collection

ByteDance's video and image families. Strong stylised output, motion-aware generation, and fast inference variants for high iteration. This page lists every Seedance · Seedream model available through the Runware API, published by ByteDance.

Membership is derived from the live Runware catalog: the 11 models on this page are the catalog's current Seedance · Seedream releases, ordered by the catalog's own editorial weight and release date. Names, descriptions, pricing, capability chips, samples, and guides are all read live from the catalog — nothing here is hand-curated, and new Seedance · Seedream releases join automatically when they land on Runware.

Everything on this page re-derives from the catalog on every visit. When ByteDance ships a new Seedance · Seedream model on Runware it appears here with no editorial lag; deprecated versions remain listed with their live status chip so version pins stay auditable.
