The production-optimized variant of Seed 2.1, built for high-throughput enterprise agent tasks (released Jun 23, 2026). Multimodal (text + image input). Supports function calling, reasoning, and web search. Stronger on knowledge work and web research (GDPval 82.7% matches Opus 4.7, BrowseComp 84.9%) than on terminal/agentic coding. Priced at roughly half of Seed 2.1 Pro. **Best for:** high-volume agent pipelines, document processing, coding assistance, and enterprise workflows where throughput and cost drive the decision. **Caveats: proprietary, available primarily through Volcano Engine API; no published parameter count or architecture details; all benchmarks vendor-reported with limited independent verification.**
