It's beating Google Veo 3 in the model arena:

They've been running tests for weeks under the covert name "Unicorn" and just renamed the model to Seedance a few days ago.

edit: I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for this, except perhaps not liking the ByteDance angle.

China produces incredibly good video models and have been in the market lead for at least a year now. All of the top video models, save for Veo 3, are from China.

In fact, the only open source video models of note are all non-American (mostly Chinese, and one Israeli model).
