We’ve just expanded the Seedance 2.5 resolution options on Atlas Cloud.

Native 1080p generation is now officially supported, so you can generate directly at the model's original 1080p resolution.

On top of that, we've rolled out our in-house ESR super-resolution pipeline. It takes Seedance 2.5 output and enhances it up to 1080p at 60 FPS, 1440p, or 4K, giving you a more flexible and cost-efficient path to higher resolution than generating everything natively at the top tier.

Several of these resolution options are currently discounted

What’s new

Seedance 2.5 on Atlas Cloud now includes:

• Official 1080p
• 1080p ESR
• 1080p ESR at 60 FPS
• 1440p ESR
• 4K ESR

Resolution options & pricing

🔥The resolution discounts for official 1080p are for a limited time, until Sept.17th 14:00 (UTC+8)

Grok Imagine Video v1.5 is now available on Atlas across three video routes: Text-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, and Image-to-Video.

The Image-to-Video route starts from a single frame and follows a natural-language motion prompt. It supports clips up to 15 seconds, output at 480p, 720p, or 1080p, plus native synchronized audio for dialogue, lip sync, sound effects, and ambient music.

What ships with Grok Imagine Video v1.5:

- Text-to-Video for prompt-driven short-form video

- Reference-to-Video for directing a generation with visual references

- Image-to-Video for animating a starting frame with a motion prompt

- Native audio generation in the Image-to-Video route

- 1 to 15 second Image-to-Video clips

- 480p, 720p, and 1080p output options

- Standard API access through the same Atlas setup

Pricing:

- Starting at $0.08 per run in the current Image-to-Video Playground

- Check the selected model page for the current rate of each route before generating

API access:

- Text-to-Video:

https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/xai/grok-imagine-video-v1.5/text-to-video

Use cases that fit these routes:

- Prompt-driven product and social clips from Text-to-Video

- Character, object, and style guided scenes from Reference-to-Video, using cleared reference assets

- Turning a hero still into a short scene with motion and synchronized sound through Image-to-Video

- Comparing a starting frame and its animated result with a Playground example video

For the media, attach one real Playground Image-to-Video result with its source frame beside it. The difference in motion, sound, and framing tells the story quickly.

Youchuan V8.2 (Midjourney) is now available on Atlas, covering both text-to-image and image-to-video. Youchuan is Midjourney's officially licensed distribution platform in China, operated by Xiaochuan Creative (Shanghai) under the "Midjourney China Lab" branding, not a third-party clone. It's the same underlying Midjourney technology.

Pricing (pay-per-use, no subscription required):

• Text-to-Image: $0.086 per generation (returns 4 images, native 2K HD optional) — about $0.021 per image if you keep all 4 outputs
• Image-to-Video: $0.343 per generation (returns 4 × 5-second videos at 480p or 720p) — about $0.086 per 5-second clip

What Midjourney V8.2 ships with (per spec):

• Native 2K HD output at 2048px with no separate upscaling step, roughly 3x faster and cheaper than V8's upscale path
• An estimated 4-5x faster generation overall from a GPU-native PyTorch rewrite (Midjourney-stated figure)
• More reliable in-image text rendering, using quoted strings in the prompt to specify the intended text
• Stronger prompt-following, needing less prompt-engineering to hit a target composition
• Restored image conditioning: image prompts and image weights, backward compatible with V7 style references (srefs), moodboards, and personalization profiles
• Image-to-video mode animates a single input image into four 5-second clips at 480p or 720p with adjustable motion intensity
• Part of a larger Midjourney V8.2 family on Atlas: image-to-image, blend, style-transfer, and remove-background, each available as its own endpoint

API access:

• Text-to-Image: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/youchuan/v8.2/text-to-image
• Image-to-Video: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/youchuan/v8.2/image-to-video

Use cases that map well to Midjourney V8.2's strengths:

• batch concept art exploration (4 image variants per generation without rerolling)
• native 2K assets for print or marketing without a separate upscale pass
• turning a single hero image into short-form video content via I2V
• iterative style-reference workflows carried over from V7 (sref, moodboards, personalization)

The giveaway on an AI portrait is skin that is too perfect, so the interesting move in this one is spending half the prompt telling Seedream 5.0 Pro to keep the imperfections: real pores, fine peach fuzz, natural tone variation, soft highlights, and explicitly no plastic airbrushing.

It is a plain, bright scene. A young woman leaning on a sunny kitchen table, white off-shoulder top, a fruit bowl, plants blurred through the window, that high-key everyday warmth. Original synthetic character, no real-person likeness. Nothing dramatic is happening, which is exactly why the skin has to carry it.

Seedream 5.0 Pro held it. Natural texture under soft window light, an 85mm shallow-focus falloff, the face sharp while the kitchen dissolves behind, no waxy influencer sheen. The long Avoid list at the end of the prompt is doing as much work as the description. That is where you kill the CG look.

Prompt, Avoid list included, below.

For everyone in this community waiting on Seedance 2.5, we put together something to use in the meantime and to make launch day painless: awesome-seedance-2.5-prompts-skills, a curated library of 111 cinematic Seedance prompts plus an installable agent skill.

Seedance 2.5 is expected in August, and Atlas Cloud is one of the first official API launch partners. Rather than have everyone scramble to relearn it on day one, we wrote the whole thing to the 2.5 paradigm now, up to 50 multimodal references, long single takes, synced audio, local region editing. The prompts and the skill already speak that language, but the skill runs on Seedance 2.0 today and checks which model a provider actually exposes instead of assuming 2.5 is live. When 2.5 lands on Atlas, the same prompts and skill route to it automatically, so nothing you build now goes to waste.

The skill turns a brief or a rough prompt into a production-ready Seedance prompt, builds and reviews a Seedream 5.0 Pro storyboard when a shot needs multi-shot planning, then generates the video and polls it to completion.

Quick one for the community. Starting 00:00 UTC today, July 23, Seedream 5.0 Pro is 20% off on Atlas Cloud for a two-week run.

If you already generate stills here for your Seedance pipelines, this is the window to stock up on character sheets, style references, and first frames. It runs on the same one-key OpenAI-compatible API as Seedance 2.0, so the stills flow straight into animation without switching anything.

It is the strongest model we have for holding an art style across reposes and keeping a character consistent shot to shot. Two weeks, then pricing goes back to normal.

Arena.ai just published their latest Agent Arena update, and Kimi K3 landed at #4 on the agentic leaderboard, in the same band as Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.6 Sol. Agent Arena scores models on real long-horizon agentic work: web search, filesystem, and terminal tools running full workflows like writing code, building apps, and analyzing documents, measured across thousands of live sessions.

A few things stood out in the breakdown. Kimi K3 ranks first on confirmed task success, the explicit "yes that worked" signal from users, and posts a strong result on praise versus complaint. It still trails the field on steerability and on recovering from CLI errors, so it is not the pick for every job yet, but on actually getting long tasks finished it sits right at the front.

The part we care about here: Kimi K3 is live on Atlas Cloud today, through the same OpenAI-compatible API as the rest of the frontier. Much of that Agent Arena top list, Opus 4.8, GPT 5.6 Sol, Sonnet 5, GLM 5.2, Grok 4.5, and Kimi K3, sits behind one endpoint and one key, so you can route each task to whichever model wins it instead of locking to a single provider. Kimi K3's open weights are expected around July 27, and if they land on schedule it becomes the top open-weight model on the board.

Full leaderboard and methodology are in Arena.ai's post. You can try Kimi K3 on Atlas Cloud here: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/moonshotai/kimi-k3

A new collaboration built on Seedance 2.5 is working with Michael Owen to revisit some of the defining moments of his career, the signature moves, the goals, the instincts that made him one of the most recognizable strikers of his generation. From those moments on the pitch to what else becomes possible once a model can work with a real career instead of a single clip, it's built around unlocking what used to be impossible.

It's also a good preview of where Seedance 2.5 is headed more broadly, and the direction is a real jump forward. Original generations are set to run up to 30 seconds, the longest single generation the line has offered so far, enough room to hold an actual narrative arc instead of a quick clip. It's also shaping up to be the first video model in the lineup released at 720p resolution, a real step up in fidelity for a line that keeps pushing further with each release.

Character consistency is getting a real push too, holding the same face and identity recognizable across an entire sequence of different moments instead of drifting scene to scene, which is exactly what a piece built around one real person's career actually demands. On top of that, the generations are shaping up to be more editable after the fact, adjusting a shot without having to regenerate the whole sequence from scratch.

Classic moments, now within reach, and just an early look at what the model can do once it's treating an entire career as material to work with.

Fun one. A first-person street-magic vlog where a marker pen touches real things and they snap into flat-2D anime, one continuous handheld shot, no cuts. Made on Seedance 2.0 (Mini works too). Full prompt below.

STYLE: live-action plus flat 2D anime-sticker composite, first-person POV street-magic vlog. Photoreal detail with the texture of real phone rear-camera footage, strong contrast between the photoreal city and the flat cartoon characters. One continuous handheld phone shot, no cuts, no scene transitions.

CAMERA: raw unstabilized handheld the whole way, walking bounce, slight arm sway, occasional autofocus hunting, real exposure shifts between bright sky and building shade, natural phone HDR color. Between targets the camera moves in quick whip pans that follow the pen.

LIGHT: late-afternoon sun from one consistent direction, every real object and every animated character drops a soft contact shadow matching that sun.

SCENE: one continuous city block walked end to end, an elevated track overhead at the start, a tree-lined sidewalk with pigeons, a bus lane, and a bus-stop bench further down. Lived-in everyday street, background passersby with natural motion.

THE PEN (magic law): the vlogger's real hand holds a black marker pen, always in frame, the visual guide connecting every beat. Every transformation follows the same sequence: the pen points, the voice says "Biu!", blue hand-drawn sketch lines wrap the target, ink spreads, the target becomes a flat-2D cel anime character with bold cartoon outlines, keeping the original's exact size, position, speed, direction and perspective, perfectly anchored to the real street. Characters keep flat sticker shading, never re-lit by real-world light, but everything they touch reacts with real physics.

BEATS:

00:00-00:03 walking POV under the elevated track, the hand raises the pen.

00:03-00:06 pen swings to a pigeon on the pavement, "Biu!", it becomes a cute hand-drawn cartoon bird, hops twice, flaps and flies off leaving sketch feathers that dissolve into ink particles.

00:06-00:10 the pen follows the particles to the bus lane where a bus passes, "Biu!", a fast sketch outline covers the bus and it becomes a giant flat-2D orange tabby cat keeping the bus's exact size, speed and perspective, padding down the lane, ears twitching, soft contact shadows on the asphalt.

00:10-00:12 the pen swings to a woman on the bus-stop bench, "Biu!", sketch lines trace her and she is redrawn as a vibrant anime cel illustration, same pose, she smiles warmly and waves once.

00:12-00:15 the vlogger flings the marker spinning into the sky with a final "Biu!", the camera tilts up as the pen draws a blue ink spiral, the ink blooms until the whole real sky becomes a hand-drawn anime sky, cel-shaded clouds, a hand-drawn sun, while the photoreal skyline stays real along the bottom. A small handwritten "THE END!" doodle pops in among the clouds and the frame freezes.

Made on Seedance 2.0: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video (Seedance 2.0 Mini works too, about 10 seconds).

I kept seeing "Seedream 5.0 is a downgrade" after the Lite launch, so I went in expecting nothing and ran the Pro tier against Nano Banana Pro for two weeks of real work. Two things up front. Pro is a different model from the Lite build people were dunking on. And no, it doesn't dethrone NBP. But the comparison isn't the one everyone keeps having.

Where NBP still wins: pure photoreal realism, especially skin and faces, camera-effect believability, and single-shot hero images. If the deliverable is one gorgeous realistic frame, NBP is still my pick, and on faces it's not close.

Where Seedream 5.0 Pro pulled ahead, and where I didn't expect it to:

The thing that actually changed my workflow was editing, not generation. On NBP I re-prompt the whole image and hope the part I liked survives the reroll. On Seedream 5.0 Pro I mark the one region I want changed and the rest stays put. For iterative client revisions that is the whole game, and the layer separation, where it splits a finished image into movable transparent layers, folds a Photoshop step into the generation itself.

Honest verdict: NBP for the hero realistic shot, Seedream 5.0 Pro for anything edit-heavy, iterative, multilingual, or cost-sensitive. If you got burned by 5.0 Lite, the Pro is worth a second look specifically for the editing, not to win a realism benchmark.

I run both off one key so switching between them is a model_id swap, nothing else changes. Seedream 5.0 Pro is here.

Seedream 5.0 Pro is live on Atlas. It's ByteDance's flagship image model, and the reason it's worth a post isn't that the outputs look nicer, it's that the whole interaction changes. Image models have been slot machines: write a prompt, roll four, reroll if you don't like it. 5.0 Pro turns that into actual editing, where you point at what you want changed and the rest stays put.

Point-and-edit. Mark a region with a box, an arrow, even coordinates, and only that region changes. You can stack several edits in one pass, one instruction per marked area, and they don't bleed into each other.

Anchor positioning for grids. On a chessboard or a product shelf you can say "the piece bottom-left, one column in" and it edits exactly that cell. Positional editing like this used to be a disaster zone for image models.

Layer separation. It splits a finished image into a background layer plus N element layers, each a transparent PNG you can move, scale, recompose, or reuse in another scene. For ecommerce detail pages or marketing assets this folds the "cut the layers apart in Photoshop" step into generation. (This one rolls out within a week of launch.)

Material and color swap. Give it a hex code or a material, wood grain, leather, glass, satin, and it applies that to the target region with the structure preserved. Product colorways without fighting adjectives.

Multi-image blend. Up to 10 reference images, merging their objects, style and material into one target per your instruction.

Two more worth flagging. Dense text and infographics took a real jump, small-text rendering is much better now (not zero-typo, but usable for posters and ecommerce pages), and it does native prompts and in-image text across 15 languages including Arabic, Korean and Thai, the ones that used to come out as garbled glyphs.

And a useful one if you also make video: Seedream 5.0 output is trusted input into the Seedance family (2.5, 2.0, Fast, Mini). The image carries an invisible same-ecosystem marker, so Seedance skips the input-side real-person check instead of blocking it. Text-to-image output is auto-trusted, image-to-image after your account clears KYC. The usual flow is to generate a character or first frame in Seedream and feed it straight into Seedance for video, one clean pipeline. One boundary stays hard: this covers virtual, AI-generated subjects only, real human faces as input are still prohibited, and the review on the final video output runs as normal.

On tiers: Pro is the 2K control-and-quality tier, up to 2048x2048 at 1:1 and around 2.7K on the long edge at 16:9, from $0.054 an image, up to 10 reference images. If you need native 4K that's Seedream 5.0 Lite, which goes to 2K/3K/4K and takes up to 14 references.

It's on Atlas now on the same key as the rest of the image, video and LLM lineup, so adding it is a model_id swap, not a new integration. Model page with params, pricing and an in-browser try: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/seedream-5.0-pro
