During today's Volcano Engine FORCE Conference, Tan Dai, the President of Volcano Engine, shared several significant updates. The Doubao (Doubao) image creation model, Seedream 4.5, has been enhanced with a suite of new features, encompassing multi-image blending, imaginative portraiture, image decomposition, intricate image composition, virtual try-on experiences, and poster design capabilities. Additionally, a cutting-edge video generation model, Seedance 1.5 Pro, has been introduced. This latest iteration boasts several improvements over its 1.0 predecessor, including high-fidelity audio-visual synchronization, support for multi-person and multilingual dialogues, cinematic-grade camera movements and narrative tension, as well as a Draft demo feature for swift creative content validation.

Furthermore, the Doubao 助手 (Doubao Assistant) API is now accessible on the Volcano Ark platform, granting initial access to core functionalities such as everyday conversation and online search. To top it off, ByteDance has rolled out the AI Cost-Saving Initiative, which operates on the principle of "increased usage translates to greater savings," potentially slashing enterprise usage costs by up to 47%.
