ByteDance has integrated Seedance 2.0, its multimodal video generation model, into CapCut for paying users across multiple global regions, reaching a platform with approximately 736 million monthly active users. The model supports text, image, audio, and video inputs, generates synchronized audio-video output in a single pass including multi-shot sequences, and ranks in the top two on Arena AI and Artificial Analysis video leaderboards, with Alibaba's HappyHorse-1.0 as its closest competitor. Simultaneously, OpenAI is discontinuing the Sora app and API after daily active users fell below 500,000 and operating costs reached an estimated $1 million per day. The contrast illustrates a broader market shift where Chinese developers are accelerating video model releases while U.S. consumer video products retreat.
