About this offering: ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 audio-video generation model on BytePlus ModelArk, billed by tokens like Seedance 2.0: tokens ≈ (input + output video seconds) × width × height × frame rate ÷ 1024, so cost grows with resolution and length. Output at 480p/720p or 1080p (no 4K row, unlike Seedance 2.0), clips up to 30 seconds. Priced lower per token when the input includes video. BytePlus isn't available in the United States.

20 credits per second of output × $0.01/credit = $0.20/s at 480p.

Runway lists an 80-credit minimum per generation, which we read as covering the combined output + input charge (assumed; Runway doesn't say).
