Seaweed, short for "Seed-Video," is an advanced foundational model for video generation, utilizing diffusion transformers with approximately 7 billion parameters. Trained on extensive multi-modal data—including video, image, and text—Seaweed excels in creating high-quality videos from textual descriptions. It supports various resolutions, aspect ratios, and durations, enabling the generation of lifelike human characters and diverse landscapes. Seaweed's capabilities extend to producing consistent, multi-shot, long-form narratives, maintaining continuity across scenes. Additionally, it offers enhanced control by allowing users to generate videos from images, reference images, and audio inputs, ensuring synchronized lip movements and body gestures. With real-time generation at 1280x720 resolution and 24fps, Seaweed is ideal for interactive applications, providing a seamless multimedia experience.
