All three Veo 3.1 previews shut down on the Gemini API on 2026-10-22.\n\n**Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk.** The video task API documents limits, error codes and per-model parameters in detail, with callbacks, a filterable task list and API keys restrictable by model and IP address. No status page, OpenAPI file or free video quota was found, the newest models need a USD 30 balance, and BytePlus model services are not sold in the United States.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Google Veo\n\n1. Move off `veo-3.1-*-preview` before 2026-10-22. Use `gemini-omni-1.1-flash` on the Gemini API or the GA Veo IDs on Vertex AI\n2. Call `predictLongRunning`, then poll the operation name about every 10 seconds until `done` is true. Jobs take 11 seconds to 6 minutes\n3. Download the video within 2 days. The server deletes it after that\n4. Set `durationSeconds` to 8 for 1080p, 4K or reference images. Shorter clips aren't supported there\n5. In the EU, UK, Switzerland and MENA image-to-video only accepts `personGeneration` set to `allow_adult`\n\n### Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk\n\n1. POST to `/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks` on ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com, then poll GET `/contents/generations/tasks/{id}` or pass `callback_url`. Callbacks need an answer within 5 seconds\n2. Download the result at once. Video URLs last 24 hours, task records 7 days, and a Seedance 2.5 URL allows 100 downloads\n3. Pass `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` in the request body. Parameters appended to the prompt as `--rs` or `--dur` are weakly validated and may be ignored\n4. On Seedance 2.5 set `omni_reference_task_type` to `edit` or `extend` so constraint errors arrive at submission. With `auto` they arrive after the task leaves the queue\n5. Do not send reference images or video with real human faces to Seedance 2.5 or 2.0. Only a queued task can be cancelled with DELETE\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Google Veo or Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk?\n\nGoogle Veo scores 60.4 (C) on agent readiness against Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk's 59.3 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Google Veo and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Google Veo and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk without installing anything?\n\nYes. Google Veo has a hosted endpoint at https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk at https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/v3.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-seedance-on-byteplus-modelark.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-seedance-on-byteplus-modelark.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"google-veo\", \"b\": \"seedance-on-byteplus-modelark\"}`.
