Seed1.5-VL is ByteDance's vision-language foundation model (532M vision encoder + 20B active-parameter MoE LLM) for general-purpose multimodal understanding and reasoning, state-of-the-art on 38 of 60 public benchmarks. This repository is the official cookbook with code samples and best practices for using the model via its hosted API on Volcano Engine.

Use cases

• understand images and diagrams with a vision-language model
• extract text from images with ocr
• build gui agents that control apps from screenshots
• analyze video content with a multimodal model
• ground and locate objects in 2d and 3d scenes
• solve visual reasoning puzzles with an ai model

When to choose

• you want to integrate a top-performing vision-language model via API
• you need cookbook examples for grounding, video understanding, or GUI agents
• you want to evaluate a strong multimodal model against benchmarks

When to avoid

• you need to run the model weights locally - the repo only provides API usage examples
• you want a self-hosted or fine-tunable open-weights model
• you need a model without dependency on Volcano Engine's paid API
