Lance: How ByteDance's All-in-One AI Model for Video Works
ByteDance has unveiled Lance, a multimodal model for working with video and images. A single framework handles understanding, generation, and editing of visual content at the same time. The model uses just 3B active parameters, so it can be deployed on ordinary hardware. The source code is open, giving developers a powerful tool without having to build their own solutions.
