On June 23, 2026, Volcano Engine hosted the 2026 Summer FORCE Conference in Beijing, officially launching the Doubao Large Model 2.1 Pro. This model achieves significant advancements in three core capabilities: programming, intelligent agents, and visual-language models, outperforming Claude Opus 4.6 in multiple evaluations and officially crossing the production-grade quality threshold. Doubao 2.1 Pro is priced at 6 yuan per million tokens for input and 30 yuan for output, with cache hit prices as low as 1.2 yuan, reducing overall usage costs by nearly 80% compared to Claude Opus 4.6. Meanwhile, Volcano Engine introduced the video generation model Seedance 2.5, the image creation model Seedream 5.0 Pro, and the audio generation model Seed-Audio 1.0. Seedance 2.5, expected to launch in July, supports functions such as direct output of 30-second single-segment native videos and joint generation of up to 50 full-modality materials, and has already been implemented in fields such as embodied intelligence and industrial manufacturing. Seedream 5.0 Pro features interactive precise editing, multi-layer separation, and supports text generation in multiple languages. Seed-Audio 1.0 supports text or audio input, enabling end-to-end generation of high-quality target audio.
