Seed 2.0 Pro vs UI-TARS-72B-DPO

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.

UI-TARS-72B-DPO, released by ByteDance in early 2025, is a 72 billion parameter multimodal large language model from the UI-TARS family, built on Qwen-2-VL and fine-tuned for automated GUI interaction and computer control. It features native understanding of screenshots, UI elements, and web interfaces, achieving strong results across GUI benchmarks for perception, grounding, and agentic control. UI-TARS-72B-DPO targets computer-use agents, web automation, and applications requiring robust visual UI reasoning.
