Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Seed-1.8 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2-72B-Instruct is a 72-billion-parameter language model released by Alibaba's Qwen team in June 2024, serving as the flagship of the Qwen2 generation and representing a major step in open-weight multilingual modeling. Trained on data spanning 30+ languages with strong coverage of code and structured reasoning, the model was among the first openly released 70B-class models to demonstrate competitive performance across diverse benchmarks. It established the foundation architecture and training methodology that the Qwen2.5 series would later extend.
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.
