Doubao Work adds third-party models; DeepSeek V4.1 Flash edits an 8-min video for $0.02

op7418 tested the newly launched third-party model access in Doubao Work (desktop):
- New plans: simple Q&A/small tasks are free in auto mode; Doubao 2.1 Lite and newly added DeepSeek V4.1 Flash run at a 0.01 credit rate, with Kimi and Zhipu GLM also added; discounted credit windows on weekdays and holidays. New desktop users get a 30-day membership.
- Hands-on video editing: using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash with his own video-editing skill, he cut a 7:55 talking-head video to 5:26 (removing filler, repeats, and long pauses, burning in 179 subtitle lines), with packaging and stitching included — roughly ¥0.12 ($0.02) in credits; it took about 1 hour versus a competing tool still unfinished near 2 hours.
- His take: opening up third-party models is the right and overdue call — no vendor short of OpenAI/Anthropic level can cover all tasks with in-house models alone, and multi-model routing cuts cost while improving quality. Best for teams already on Feishu/ByteDance tooling.
