"ByteDance just dropped Seedance [--] Seedream [--] and Seed [--] LLM before Chinese New Year like it was nothing. Everyone's talking about the DeepSeek moment. I'd argue the real moment this year belongs to @ByteDance who quietly is the most underrated AI lab on the planet. Now imagine if they went a little bit more open source. Happy to host them on @huggingface ByteDance is cooking The two LLMs by their Seed team both look super strong. https://t.co/fCs2UtpRWy ByteDance is cooking The two LLMs by their Seed team both look super strong. https://t.co/fCs2UtpRWy"
