- Jimeng AI Launches an End-to-End Short-Drama Studio
ByteDance’s Jimeng AI launched its Short Drama Studio on October 26, combining scriptwriting, character and scene asset management, storyboarding, video generation, and post-production in one project. According to IT之家, the studio uses DreamScript for scripts, Anycook for images, and DreamShot for storyboards, while also offering a 3D director desk, scene previews, and team asset management. A hands-on test by 品玩 found that the agent organized character imagery and storyboard references effectively, but also encountered abrupt transitions and an unexplained scar appearing on a character’s arm.

IT之家, citing 36Kr, reports that ByteDance has integrated the AI short-drama platform Xiaoyunque into Jimeng while retaining a separate entry point. Jimeng has already added Xiaoyunque’s short-drama capabilities. Following the adjustment, Jimeng operations and marketing lead Chen Xinran will oversee Xiaoyunque’s operations, while its product team remains unchanged. Xiaoyunque launched a short-drama Agent in March that supports scripts of up to 100,000 Chinese characters and one-click video generation using ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 model.
IT之家 AI · 🔥 0 - AI micro-drama team burned nearly 100,000 yuan in compute for under 800 yuan in revenue share
Titanium Media reports that a three-person AI comic-drama team spent close to 100,000 yuan on compute over roughly a month producing three dozens-of-episode series, but took in under 800 yuan in platform revenue share. The article cites DataEye statistics that 98.7% of AI micro-drama projects in the first half failed to recoup costs and that only 1,055 of 221,900 new AI short dramas on Douyin passed 100 million plays, a 0.47% rate, while per-10,000-play ad revenue fell from 30–100 yuan to 5–10 yuan. It also reports that ByteDance's Seedance held more than 80% of China's AI short-drama tool market, that Volcano Engine required large customers to commit to at least 10 million yuan in annual consumption when it opened the Seedance 2.0 API in April, and that Jimeng AI's Double 11 banner advertises Seedance 2.5 from 0.177 yuan per second.

A syndicated 新声Pro feature published by 钛媒体 maps ByteDance's recent AI video activity into an ecosystem: an internal test of a manga-drama Agent 「漫剧创作工具」 in mid-August, the overseas short-drama Agent Dramagic launched by BytePlus on September 21, and the CapCut (剪映) Hub AI creation entry point announced during the Douyin creator conference. The matrix also includes Jimeng AI, launched in May 2024 and positioned for film-grade creation with generation and canvas controls, plus Xiaoyunque, which shipped a short-drama Agent in March carrying Seedance 2.0 and rebranded around storytelling on August 31. The article describes each tool as targeting different content verticals and production scenarios, from UGC communities to batch-oriented studio workflows.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - ByteDance's AI companion app Maoxiang tops China iOS generative AI revenue list
A Huxiu AI reprint of an analysis originally published by 人人都是产品经理, citing Sensor Tower's 2026 global AI app trends report, says ByteDance's AI companion app Maoxiang took the revenue top spot on China's iOS generative AI list in the first quarter of 2026, while Doubao took both the download and active-user titles, with Jimeng AI second and Kimi seventh. Sensor Tower figures put Maoxiang's cumulative iOS in-app purchase revenue above US$22 million since its March 2024 launch, a figure that excludes Android and advertising revenue. The article also cites third-party estimates showing Maoxiang's August 2026 iOS revenue per monthly active user at roughly five times Jimeng AI's, and contrasts its chat-based monetization with Character.AI, which it reports filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2026 despite roughly 12 million users.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 0 - Analysis: AI short dramas take 55% of China's token use
A column by Yingzi Beiwanglu, published by TMTPost with authorization, cites Chinese Online industry data saying AI short dramas and video generation account for 55% of domestic token consumption, ahead of e-commerce and marketing at 24% and software development at 15%. The piece estimates that one second of 1080p video costs about 50,000 tokens (3 million per minute), and that a 120-minute AI live-action short drama carries 30,000–40,000 yuan in model-side compute cost, roughly half of total cost in large-volume production. It also cites Kling AI revenue of more than 650 million yuan in Q1 2026, up over 300% year on year, with API revenue reaching 60% of the total, and estimates a revenue split of 25–35% to compute providers, 20–30% to producers and 30–40% to platforms. The figures come from company disclosures and the author's industry citations and are not independently verified in the article.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - Kling AI plans Hong Kong IPO as early as 2027, raising at least $1B
Bloomberg reports that Kling AI, Kuaishou's video-generation business, plans a Hong Kong IPO as early as 2027, raising at least $1 billion, with CICC, Goldman Sachs and UBS underwriting. The report says Kling began independent fundraising in July with backing from Tencent, Alibaba Cloud, Baidu and others, and that based on late-August capital-increase data it is valued at about 122.8 billion yuan — above Kuaishou's market value at the time; the same account cites cumulative losses of more than 2 billion yuan from full-year 2025 through this year's first quarter. The article also says AI micro-dramas accounted for roughly 122,000 of about 128,000 short dramas released in Q1, or 95.3%, while hit and break-even rates remain very low as the sector consolidates.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 0 - Volcano Engine launches Seedance film program, up to ¥1M per project
At the Pingyao International Film Festival, ByteDance's cloud unit Volcano Engine announced a Seedance film cooperation program offering token subsidies, marketing resources and technical support to professional film and series, animation and short-film projects worldwide, with incentives of up to 1 million RMB per project. The push follows Volcano Engine's Cannes appearance with Seedance 2.0 in May, where the source says Higgsfield's 95-minute AI feature "Hell Grind," with nearly all video and voice generated by Seedance 2.0, was made for under $500,000 in 14 days. Separately, Bona Film Group's "Sanxingdui: Future Past," in which Bona says Seedance 2.0 was used only to enhance some scenes, reaches theaters on Oct. 23, while ByteDance's Jimeng AI launched a film label, Jimeng Film Studio, on Aug. 26 and Douyin hosted an AI short-film hackathon with computing support from Volcano Engine.
