InternS1 vs Seed 2.0 Pro

Shanghai AI Lab

InternS1, released by Shanghai AI Laboratory at WAIC 2025 on July 26, 2025, is a multimodal scientific reasoning large language model designed for advanced problem-solving across mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related domains. It supports text, image, and potentially other scientific data formats as input, and demonstrated strong performance on competition-level scientific benchmarks. InternS1 targets open-source scientific research, STEM education, and applications requiring deep domain reasoning across natural science disciplines.

ByteDance

Seed 2.0 Pro is ByteDance's flagship general-purpose model, released in February 2026 under the Doubao brand through the Volcengine API platform, developed by the company's Seed research team as a foundation for agentic applications requiring long-horizon reasoning and multimodal input comprehension. The model accepts text, images, and extended video — including hour-length recordings — targeting enterprise use cases in long-form document analysis, agentic coding (integrated with ByteDance's TRAE IDE), and multi-turn reasoning tasks. It anchors a three-tier product family alongside Seed 2.0 Lite and Mini, positioned as ByteDance's response to frontier model competition in the Chinese and global enterprise AI markets.
