Doubao Rolls Out SeedRealtime: Free Native Full-Duplex Video Chat

xiaohu · x · 2026-08-05

ByteDance's Seed team has launched SeedRealtime, a native full-duplex audio/video model, now fully available for free in the Doubao app.

Unlike previous cascade systems or audio-only end-to-end models, the new architecture processes both visual and audio inputs within a single model. This allows it to more accurately determine when a user has finished speaking, significantly reducing interruptions. The team released 7 live demos showcasing its robust performance in noisy environments like airports and multi-person dinners.
