Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Sibling matchup inside the Seed 2.0 family.
Seed-2.0-Lite and Seed-2.0-Mini sit in the same Seed 2.0 family. This page is less about two unrelated model lineages and more about how the siblings trade off on benchmark shape, token costs, and practical limits like context window.
Seed-2.0-Lite is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 63 to 53. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Seed-2.0-Lite's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 41.4 against 24.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 45 to 22.
Seed-2.0-Lite is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.25 input / $2.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M tokens for Seed-2.0-Mini. That is roughly 5.0x on output cost alone.
Seed-2.0-Lite makes more sense if coding is the priority, while Seed-2.0-Mini is the cleaner fit if you want the cheaper token bill.
