Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Seed 1.5-VL supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Mistral AI
Devstral 2, released by Mistral AI on December 9, 2025, is a 123 billion parameter dense transformer model specifically designed for software engineering tasks. It features a 256K token context window and achieved 72.2% on SWE-bench Verified at release, making it a competitive open-weight option for automated coding and agentic development. Devstral 2 targets code generation, multi-file software engineering, and agentic development workflows under a modified MIT license.
ByteDance
Seed1.5-VL, released by ByteDance Seed on May 15, 2025, is a vision-language foundation model composed of a 532M-parameter vision encoder and a Mixture-of-Experts language model with 20 billion active parameters. It was pretrained on over 3 trillion multimodal tokens and achieved state-of-the-art performance on 38 out of 60 public VLM benchmarks at release. Seed1.5-VL targets complex visual reasoning, OCR, video comprehension, 3D spatial understanding, and multimodal agentic tasks.
