ByteDance's Seedance now earns 50% of its revenue overseas

Seedance, ByteDance's video generation model, now gets 50% of its revenue from overseas markets. Reports say its overseas revenue has grown nearly five times in the past six months, making international markets a key growth driver.

In China, Tencent ranks among the top three customers of Seedance by token use and revenue, while Bilibili sits in the top ten. Major internet companies are buying the model at scale.

In September, Volcano Engine launched a Seedance film partnership program at the Pingyao International Film Festival, offering token subsidies, promotion resources, and tech support for professional film projects worldwide, with incentives of up to one million yuan per project.

In October, Volcano Engine released Seedance 2.5 4K. With special training on facial expressions, subtle movements, and visual details, it is the strongest model in the Seedance 2.5 series.
