SaveSeed1.8 Model Card: Towards Generalized Real-World Agency
Organizations: Bytedance Seed
Abstract
We present Seed1.8, a foundation model aimed at generalized real-world agency: going beyond single-turn prediction to multi-turn interaction, tool use, and multi-step execution. Seed1.8 keeps strong LLM and vision-language performance while supporting a unified agentic interface-search, code generation and execution, and GUI interaction. For deployment, it offers latency- and cost-aware inference, including configurable thinking modes and optimized visual encoding for images and video. We report evaluations on standard benchmarks and application-aligned workflows spanning foundational skills, multimodal understanding, and agentic behavior. Seed1.8 is released to support further research and development on interactive, real-world use cases.

| Domain | Example Task |
|---|---|
| Law | In June 2017, a certain bank and a certain company entered into a financial loan contract. To secure the realization of the debts under the contract, Zhang [full name omitted] issued to the bank a “Personal Unlimited Joint and Several Liability Guarantee”, providing an unlimited joint and several liability guarantee for the company’s full performance of its obligations. Subsequently, because the company failed to repay the loan principal on time and pay interest as agreed in the contract, the bank declared in December 2017 that the loan had become accelerated and immediately due, and filed a lawsuit against the company and Zhang [full name omitted], requesting that the company repay principal and interest and that Zhang [full name omitted] bear the guarantor’s liability. The evidence provided by Zhang [full name omitted] includes a “Judicial Forensic Appraisal Opinion on Mental Illness” issued by XX Hospital. The appraisal opinion states: the appraised person Zhang [full name omitted] is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and is currently a person with limited civil capacity for conduct. In addition, there are relevant medical visit records and diagnostic notes indicating that Zhang [full name omitted] had already been diagnosed, prior to June 2017, with Alzheimer’s dementia (presenile type). Questions: 1. Provide a detailed analysis of whether the “Personal Unlimited Joint and Several Liability Guarantee” issued by Zhang [full name omitted] to the bank has legal validity, and whether Zhang [full name omitted] should bear the guarantee liability. 2. If the “Personal Unlimited Joint and Several Liability Guarantee” is invalid, should Zhang [full name omitted] bear compensation liability for the invalid guarantee? 3. As the bank’s attorney, in what respects should you supplement the evidence? Please conduct the analysis in conjunction with relevant laws and regulations and similar adjudication cases, requiring that the laws and regulations be valid and effective, and that the cases be real and authentic. |

Figure 7: ZeroVideo Example 1: Long Video Object Retrieval. This example requires the model to determine a dog’s breed from hour-long driving video, necessitating multi-hop reasoning and temporal localization over long-form video; since the vehicle is in motion, it also relies on robust high–frame-rate recognition. In this case, Seed1.8 first localizes the exact timestamp corresponding to the license plate mentioned in the prompt, then repeatedly invokes the VideoCut tool to refine the relevant segments, ultimately identifying the dog as a Shiba Inu.
Figure 8: ZeroVideo Example 2: Urban Navigation with Videos. This example requires the model to infer the travel route from a city tour video, which depends on its ability to perform multi-hop localization and reasoning over long-form video, as well as its navigation capabilities. Seed1.8 uses VideoCut to identify the approximate temporal window and then carefully analyzes each road crossing, demonstrating the model’s impressive long-video understanding.

| Structure Diagnosis | The agent first identifies a structural inconsistency in the codebase: the routine BrillLindquist is declared in the public header ( IDAnalyticBH.h ), scheduled in schedule.ccl , and listed in make.code.defn , yet the corresponding source file is entirely missing. This diagnosis relies on repository exploration using filesystem and search tools rather than mathematical reasoning. |
| Math Recovery | By consulting the thorn documentation, the agent reconstructs the intended Brill–Lindquist initial data model. It explicitly recovers the conformal decomposition , with the conformal factor , where . This stage reflects domain-specific mathematical reasoning in numerical relativity, independent of any code execution. |
| Numerical Regularization Reasoning | The agent recognizes that naive evaluation of is numerically unstable at puncture locations. By analogy with existing implementations (e.g., Schwarzschild.c ), it adopts an -regularized distance , ensuring smooth behavior near singular points. This choice reflects numerical analysis reasoning rather than a purely syntactic code pattern. |
| Derivative Structure Inference | The agent derives and verifies analytic expressions for first and second spatial derivatives of the conformal factor, such as , and confirms that, under StaticConformal conventions, these quantities must be stored as and . Correctness is established by cross-checking with existing Schwarzschild and Misner implementations. |
| Reference-Guided Code Synthesis | Using the recovered mathematical structure, the agent synthesizes a complete BrillLindquist.c implementation supporting up to four black holes. This stage combines symbolic mathematical reasoning with direct code generation via editing tools. |
| Tool-Assisted Consistency Checks | The agent employs tooling to inspect test parameter files (e.g., test_bl.par ) and expected numerical outputs (e.g., grr_max.tl ), using them as qualitative validation targets. While full execution is blocked by the absence of a configured Cactus build environment, the agent uses partial compilation attempts and file inspection to verify interface and build-system consistency. |
