Overview

This video discusses ByteDance's new AI model, "Trey Seed Code," which is reportedly outperforming Claude and GPT-5 in coding tasks at a significantly lower cost. The speaker suggests this could be the reason Anthropic has restricted access to their models for Trey. The video reviews the model's performance on various benchmarks, its cost-effectiveness, and how to access it, particularly through ZenMox.

Key takeaways

• ByteDance's New AI Model: ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, has released a new AI model called "Trey Seed Code" that shows strong performance in coding benchmarks, even surpassing models like Claude and GPT-5.
• Competitive Pricing: The model is significantly cheaper than existing options, costing $12 per million tokens, making it approximately 15 times less expensive than comparable models.
• Anthropic's Reaction: The emergence of this competitive and affordable model may have prompted Anthropic to cut off Trey's access to their models, suggesting a competitive concern.
• Performance on Benchmarks: The model performs well on the SWEBench verified benchmark, though its performance varies on different tasks, excelling in some areas like code generation and visual outputs while struggling in others, particularly with agentic tasks when accessed via Claude's API.
• Accessibility: While primarily China-focused with access restrictions (e.g., requiring a Chinese mobile number for their API), the model can be accessed through platforms like ZenMox, which also offers an Anthropic-compatible API.
