Jimeng(即梦AI)Jimeng(即梦AI)

Jimeng AI (即梦AI) is a generative AI creative platform developed by ByteDance‘s Jianying (CapCut) team, designed to transform ideas into visual and video content. Launched in 2024 after an internal beta, it quickly became a major player in China’s AI creative tool market.

Here is a quick overview of its core information:

🛠️ Core Features and Capabilities

Jimeng stands out for its integrated and creative-focused toolset.

  • AI Video Generation: You can generate videos from text, a single image (as a starting frame), or by defining both a start and end image. It offers fine control over camera movements, video speed, and lip-syncing for generated characters.

  • AI Image Generation: It supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and “create similar” features. The “Smart Canvas” allows for advanced editing like multi-image fusion, outpainting, and local repainting.

  • Specialized Creative Modes:

    • Story Mode: A dedicated workflow for creating storyboards and short films, allowing you to manage scenes on a timeline and add audio.

    • Digital Human & Motion Imitation: The OmniHuman model can create a talking or singing digital avatar from a single photo and an audio file. The DreamActor M1 model can make a person in a photo imitate the actions and expressions from a reference video.

💼 Professional and Commercial Applications

Beyond personal creativity, Jimeng has developed robust commercial applications.

  • Enterprise API Services: Since late 2025, Jimeng’s core models have been available as APIs on ByteDance’s Volcano Engine cloud platform. Businesses can integrate these models for:

    • Marketing Material Production: Quickly generating posters, banners, and short ads.

    • Game & Content Design: Creating concept art, character designs, and short animated sequences.

    • Educational Content: Producing dynamic teaching materials with virtual instructors.

  • Cultural & Professional Projects: Jimeng has been used in professional productions, most notably as the primary AI tool for China’s first fully AI-generated sci-fi short drama, “Sanxingdui: Future Apocalypse,” aimed at promoting ancient Chinese culture.

🌍 Positioning in the AI Landscape

  • Strengths: Its integration within the ByteDance ecosystem (close to Douyin/TikTok and CapCut), strong performance in Chinese-language prompt understanding, and a focus on creative control and professional workflows.

  • Comparison: While global competitors like OpenAI‘s Sora focus on high-fidelity physics simulation, and Runway is strong in professional video editing, Jimeng positions itself as a versatile, all-in-one creative suite for visual content, from images to digital humans. Unlike models like ChatGPT (text) or Claude (analysis), Jimeng is fundamentally a multimedia generation tool.

DeepSeek

DeepSeek

DeepSeek was founded in 2023 with a focus on researching world-leading fundamental models and technologies for artificial general intelligence (AGI), tackling cutting-edge challenges in AI. Leveraging self-developed training frameworks, proprietary AI computing clusters, and tens of thousands of computing units, the DeepSeek team released and open-sourced multiple billion-parameter large models within just half a year. These include the general-purpose large language model DeepSeek-LLM and the code-focused model DeepSeek-Coder. In January 2024, DeepSeek also pioneered the open-sourcing of China's first Mixture of Experts (MoE) large model, DeepSeek-MoE. All these models have demonstrated outstanding performance, surpassing comparable models in both public benchmark evaluations and real-world generalization tasks beyond their training data.
