Lance is a ByteDance research project: a native unified multimodal model with 3B active parameters that handles understanding, generation and editing for both images and video. The project page lists text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image, image editing and multi-turn video editing, plus visual understanding, trained under a "multi-task synergy" approach.
The demos show text-to-video clips with character motion, two-person interaction and cinematic scenes, and image-to-video that keeps subject identity and scene composition while adding motion and camera movement. Demo videos are displayed with 2x super-resolution and 2x frame interpolation.
According to a YouTube creator summary, code has been released and running it needs a GPU with at least 40 GB VRAM. The provided pages did not include a repository link, weights, license or paper link, so those details are unconfirmed. It is a research release, not a hosted product.
