Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Seed-1.8 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
Seed-1.8, developed by ByteDance Seed, is a generalized agentic large language model supporting text and image input, with industry-leading GUI agent capabilities and improvements in multimodal reasoning over its predecessor Seed1.5-VL. It targets information retrieval, code generation, GUI interaction, and complex agentic workflows requiring robust multimodal understanding.
