Summary

Developer attempts to integrate ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model into an automated agent pipeline but encounters enterprise restrictions on ByteDance's Volcengine API; seeks community feedback on alternative API providers like Fal, focusing on per-second pricing, API compatibility, and latency benchmarks.

Wiring Seedance 2.0 into an agent pipeline for an automated content generation tool. The agent decides scenes + camera angles + dialogue then calls the video model per shot. Hit a procurement wall: ByteDance's Volcengine API requires enterprise registration plus a minimum spend commitment to enable the model. Hard no for non-enterprise agent dev work. The API provider route looks like the path: \- Fal offers it at $0.14/sec, PAYG \- Anyone running this through other API providers? \- Concretely interested in: per-second pricing at 720p / 480p, whether the API surface matches the official spec, latency under agent loop pressure (sub-30-sec call ideal so the agent doesn't stall) If you've benchmarked multi-provider Seedance latency in an agent context, I'd want the actual numbers.
