ByteDance Seed: Seed-2.0-Lite

ByteDance Seed: Seed-2.0-Lite, created on March 10, 2026, is positioned as a versatile, cost-efficient enterprise workhorse with strong multimodal and agent capabilities. While it demonstrates exceptional reliability with a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, its speed performance tends to be slower, ranking in the 19th percentile. Pricing is moderate, falling into the 24th percentile. The model exhibits significant strengths in several key areas. It achieved perfect accuracy in both General Knowledge and Reasoning benchmarks, notably being the most accurate model at its price point and among models of similar speed in these categories. Its Mathematics performance is also outstanding, ranking in the 97th percentile. Instruction Following and Coding capabilities are strong, both scoring in the 80th percentile or higher. Email Classification is highly accurate at 99.0%. A notable weakness is its performance in Hallucinations, where it only achieved 81.6% accuracy, placing it in the 26th percentile, indicating a tendency to generate information rather than acknowledge uncertainty. Despite its description emphasizing low latency, the benchmark durations consistently place it in the lower percentiles for speed.
