Beijing: Cinematic clips generated by ByteDance's latest artificial intelligence video model have sparked an online buzz for the Chinese company that recently ceded majority control of TikTok in the United States.
ByteDance is best known globally as the company behind TikTok, but it is also a major AI player in the world's second largest economy.
Its new video creation model, called Seedance 2.0, has been launched in a limited test mode in China -- but hyper-realistic synthetic footage is already flooding social networks worldwide.
Swiss-based consultancy CTOL Digital Solutions hailed it as "the most advanced AI video generation model available... surpassing OpenAI's Sora 2 and Google's Veo 3.1 in practical testing".
It "represents a fundamental shift in video generation capabilities -- not merely in visual quality, but in automating editorial judgment previously exclusive to trained professionals", it said.
