Changelog

Seedance 2.5 from ByteDance is available on Higgsfield, the latest version in the Seedance video family.

• Clips up to 30 seconds, with ambience, foley, and score generated in the same pass as the picture.

• Region-level edits. An object or a face can be fixed in one spot without re-rendering the whole clip; a single shot in a sequence can be re-rolled separately.

• Up to 50 references per generation to lock characters, products, and style.

• Direct controls on Higgsfield. Era, genre, lighting angle, physics, camera, and emotional tone are set as selectors instead of prompt text. Motion control executes a defined camera path, and a browser 3D scene builder blocks out scenes spatially.

• Resolution. The model generates at 480p and 720p, with upscaling up to 4K.

To get started: Video → model selector → Seedance 2.5.

Availability: mid and upper plans include a 33-day unlimited window on Seedance 2.5, with clip-length limits varying by plan. The Unlimited Models Marketplace bundle is unchanged.

A short-film contest with a $1,000,000 prize pool. Films must be at least 3 minutes long and generated entirely on Higgsfield within the generation window.

• Eligibility. Open worldwide, 18+. Solo or teams of up to 4.

• Prizes. 1st $500,000, 2nd $200,000, 3rd $100,000, Audience Choice $100,000, and 10 honorable mentions of $10,000 each.

Some users couldn't load the site, mainly in Chrome, while mobile and Safari worked. Fixed on the provider's side, everything is running normally again.

Supercomputer now has a Free Mode: a free LLM for text generation, with no credits deducted.

• Fully free text. All text generations on the Free model cost nothing, and there are no usage limits for now. Image and video generation still spend credits as usual.

• New mode structure. Auto and Efficient are gone: Free (free model), Smart (top models for complex reasoning), and Manual (pick your own model: GLM, DeepSeek, Seed, Opus, etc.).

• Effort control in Manual. Choose Low/Medium/High/Extra to set how long the model "thinks": lower effort is faster, higher effort means deeper reasoning and better results.

To get started: pick Free, Smart, or Manual in the Supercomputer mode selector.

Two new models in the Supercomputer selector.

• Grok 4.5. xAI's new model with a strong engineering base: noticeably faster, well balanced between speed and quality, and cheaper at comparable quality on most technical tasks, a solid default for everyday pipelines.

To get started: pick GPT‑5.6 or Grok 4.5 in the Supercomputer model selector.

The site was down from 13:38 to 13:52 UTC. Resolved, everything is running normally again.

Supercomputer now builds full generative apps that create images, video, and 3D through Higgsfield models: the agent wires the models in itself, no API keys or code.

• Describe it, get it. The agent handles design, code, database, sign-in, and model integration, from a landing page or portfolio to a full web app with logic and auth (AI photobooth, anime filter, generative tools). Three base templates: Studio, Stepper, and Simple App.

• Edit in the same chat. Say "make it dark" or "add a gallery" and the agent updates the app with a fresh preview in minutes.

• Users pay for their own generations. People sign in with their Higgsfield account and generate on their own credits, so a thousand users cost the creator nothing. Builds spend your regular credits, up to 20 apps a day.

• Publish and remix. One-click SEO and security checks at publish, auto-generated cover, icon, and description (editable), like/dislike, reports, and Credit Spend display. The new My Apps section shows what's published, with hover editing.

To get started: Apps now live in the Products section in Supercomputer. Describe your app in chat and the agent does the rest. Also available through MCP, so you can build straight from Claude or Cursor.

Seedream 5.0 Pro from ByteDance is built to translate the creator's intent into the final visual with precision: complex infographics, surgical edits, and photoreal textures.

• Infographics in one pass. Charts, diagrams, and realistic photos in a single frame, with logical structure and no data loss.

• Point-level editing. It understands what sits where in the frame: point selection, color and material swaps without rebuilding the scene.

• Group shots from references. Combines several reference photos of people into one shot with unified lighting and texture.

• Real light physics. Glass reflections, water splashes, and motion-blur panning.

• Native text in 10+ languages. Including Arabic (right-to-left), Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, with accurate local typography.

To get started: Image → model selector → Seedream 5.0 Pro. Also available through Supercomputer, MCP, and CLI.

• Cache cleared in a couple of clicks.

To get started: open Manage Account within the Supercomputer page → Usage → scroll to the bottom.

The Unlimited Models Marketplace is live for Team and Scale plans, at the same prices and model selection as individual plans.

• Per-seat purchase. Bundles are bought per seat, a single bundle can't be shared among multiple team members.

• Assign after purchase. The owner sets seat count at checkout, then assigns bundles right away or later from Manage Account → Subscription.

• Assign once. A bundle can only be assigned one time and can't be reassigned to someone else.

• Owner and admin can assign. Purchasing is owner-only; admins can assign if the owner grants that permission.

To get started: Unlimited models button in the profile menu, or Manage Account → Subscription; same entry points as on individual plans.

Availability: the bundle term starts at purchase, not at assignment, so unassigned time is lost if not assigned before it expires.

Explainer is no longer just a Supercomputer/MCP skill, it's a standalone tool on the platform, with a full visual interface.

• Full creative control. Set style, character, voice, and motion yourself, no agent needed.

• Preset library built in. Pick a visual style right in the interface.

• Everything in one screen. Topic, narrator voice, format, and length, then generate in one click.

To get started: open Higgsfield Explainer → pick a preset → describe your topic (optionally add a photo or link) → set aspect ratio, duration, and voice → Generate.

Availability: up to 10 minutes, 16:9 or 9:16.
