Release cadence
Seedance release timeline so far
Past releases give the only factual basis for guessing. The gaps between major versions have been about eight months from 1.0 to 2.0 and under six months from 2.0 to 2.5. That is a pattern, not a schedule.

How to check a claim
Look for an announcement from ByteDance, Volcano Engine or Dreamina, and for the model appearing in an API provider's model list. Until both exist, treat the claim as unverified.
What to use now
What to use while you wait
Seedance 2.5 is the current model: clips up to 30 seconds, up to 50 reference files and sound generated with the picture. If cost matters more than length, Seedance 2.0 and its Fast and Mini tiers are cheaper. Seedance 2.5 vs 2.0 compares them, and What is Seedance? covers the model family.
