Description

Doubao Seed 2.1 Pro is a language model from ByteDance Doubao. Webparam does not stock this model yet and can source it on request — tell us what you need it for and we will come back with availability and a price. ByteDance Doubao’s stated focus is consumer-scale LLMs and generative video. The weights are not published, so it is API-only.

Capabilities

Tool calling
Calls functions you define and returns their arguments as structured data, the basis of agents.
JSON mode
Constrains the response to valid JSON matching a schema you supply.
Streaming
Emits tokens as they are generated, so answers appear progressively rather than all at once.

Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

  • 256K context
