Re:Show HN: Try ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 AI video model on Monday February 09, 2026 @12:46PM (#46948299)
I completely understand the skepticism, and honestly, I appreciate it — there are way too many fake sites riding the hype of new AI models.Let me be fully transparent about what I did:Seedance 2.0 is real, but ByteDance hasn't released the official API yet — that's expected around Feb 24th. So right now, there's no public API for anyone to build on.What I did was purchase premium accounts on the official platform, then used some technical work to convert that access into an API that my site can use. It's not the "official" way, but the model running behind it is the genuine Seedance 2.0. The output quality speaks for itself.I built this because I saw so many people wanting to try Seedance 2.0 but having no way to access it. I figured — why not make it available now while everyone's waiting for the official release?To the point about credits not being enough — on my platform, you get 200 free credits on sign up, which is enough to generate a 5-second video clip. And honestly, I'd love for you guys to try it and judge for yourselves.Here's a special invite link with 500 free credits — no payment needed, no strings attached: https://seedance2-pro.com/?utm_source=partner_A65C8972&utm_m... it. If it feels like a scam after that, I'll take the L. But I think the results will surprise you.

Hey, nice project! I actually built something similar — when Seedance 2.0 dropped, I noticed a ton of people struggling to access it, so I put together a platform as fast as I could to make it available. It's live now at seedance2-pro.com. You get 200 free credits on sign up — enough to try it out and see what the model can do. Text-to-video and image-to-video are working. Reference video isn't supported yet, but I'm working on it. Just an indie dev trying to help people get their hands on this model. Would love any feedback if you give it a try!
