  "summary": "Seedance 2.0 uses model/seedance-2.0 in MaxAPI's video-generation API. Submit a task, save its identifier, and poll for the final result. Acceptance is not completion. Supported media, duration and resolution depend on this model entry and the selected route.",

    "selection_advice": "Compare it when the shot has specific reference, movement and framing requirements, or requires the listed 1080p output. Compare 2.5 separately when a longer, up-to-30-second narrative is the actual requirement.",
