Seed 2.0 Code serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 with your EmpirioLabs API key and use the model id seed-2-0-code. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

| Parameter | Type | Default | Range / values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| max_tokens | number | 4096 | 1 to 65536 | Max output tokens |
| frequency_penalty | number | 0 | -2 to 2 | Penalty for repeated tokens. >0 reduces repetition, <0 encourages it. |
| presence_penalty | number | 0 | -2 to 2 | Penalty for new vs. seen tokens. >0 encourages new topics, <0 encourages staying on topic. |
| stop | string | - | - | Comma-separated stop sequences |
| enable_thinking | boolean | true | - | Enable deep thinking / reasoning mode. |
| reasoning_effort | enum | medium | low, medium, high | Reasoning effort tier. Use enable_thinking=false to disable reasoning entirely. |
| enable_web_search | boolean | false | - | Enable BytePlus Ark MCP web search. |
| enable_caching | boolean | false | - | Cache the prompt prefix for ~10 min so follow-up requests reuse it and pay fewer input tokens for the cached portion. |
| image_detail | enum | high | low, high, xhigh | Image visual quality tier for vision input. |
| video_fps | number | - | 0.2 to 5 | Frames per second extracted from video input. |
Pricing is 2x when input tokens >=128K. Temperature and top_p are server-fixed (temp=1, top_p=0.95) regardless of client value.
On EmpirioLabs, Seed 2.0 Code is billed pay as you go: Input <=128K $0.40; 128K-256K $0.80 per 1M prompt tokens; Output <=128K $2.40; 128K-256K $4.80 per 1M generated tokens. The live rate card on this page always matches what the API charges.
Seed 2.0 Code supports a 256K-token context window with up to 128,000 output tokens per response.
Yes. Seed 2.0 Code serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, so existing OpenAI SDKs work by pointing base_url at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 and setting the model id to seed-2-0-code.
Yes. The EmpirioLabs playground runs Seed 2.0 Code in the browser with the same parameters the API exposes, so you can test prompts before writing code.
Create an EmpirioLabs account, then generate a key under API Keys in the dashboard. Billing is pay-as-you-go credits, so you only pay for the requests you make.
