ByteDance has recently launched a new programming model called Doubao-Seed-Code, claiming to achieve breakthroughs in performance, price, and migration cost. This model is not only compatible with the Claude API but also has efficient code generation capabilities, making web development much simpler. Let's see just how powerful this model is.

First, the performance of Doubao-Seed-Code is impressive. It is deeply integrated with the TRAE development environment, enabling faster and more accurate solutions to programming problems, successfully topping the SWE-Bench Verified leaderboard. This means that developers can expect a smoother programming experience when using this model.

Second, the calling price of Doubao-Seed-Code is the lowest in the industry. Volcano Engine has also introduced a package for just 9.9 yuan, which is almost equivalent to the price of a cup of coffee. This strategy undoubtedly lowers the usage threshold for developers, allowing more people to easily try AI programming.

Finally, the model performs well in terms of migration costs. Doubao-Seed-Code is natively compatible with the Anthropic API, and developers can migrate from the Claude Code environment with almost no complex configuration, making it almost a zero-cost switch. For developers who are already accustomed to using the Claude series of tools, this is clearly a great benefit.

To verify the actual effectiveness of Doubao-Seed-Code, the testing team conducted multiple rounds of code generation tasks. From simple galaxy particle animations to complex Minecraft-style zipper interactions, the model performed quite well. It not only quickly completed basic tasks but was also able to identify and optimize interaction logic, achieving a high user experience.

When performing complex engineering refactoring, Doubao-Seed-Code also demonstrated strong capabilities. It can accurately locate bugs in old code and optimize the structure, improving the readability and maintainability of the code. Ultimately, the model successfully developed a tour website for the Palace Museum, covering introductions to multiple palaces and AI-generated audio guide buttons, with complete and practical features.

Doubao-Seed-Code demonstrates the future trend of AI programming with its excellent performance, ultra-low usage cost, and seamless migration experience. For developers, this is undoubtedly a new option worth paying attention to.
