1. SkyProduction launches Seedance 2.5 draft mode with 480P preview and 1080P final rendering to reduce AI video production costs
SkyProduction, powered by Kunlun Tech, launched the Seedance 2.5 draft mode on September 29, allowing AI video creators to generate 480P preview videos before committing to 1080P final renders. The feature addresses high inference costs in AI short drama production, where creators typically generate dozens of versions before selecting the final clip. According to testing from ByteDance’s Volcano Engine, the draft mode can reduce costs by approximately 57% in typical scenarios and up to 90% in high-iteration workflows, while maintaining visual consistency between draft and final output without relying on upscaling. The mode is now available on skyproduction.cn for users creating AI-generated video content.

3. Qoder integrates TypeSafe AI’s Jev judgment model into Agent Harness for automated decision-making
Qoder announced its integration of Jev, a System One judgment model from TypeSafe AI, into its Agent Harness architecture to handle high-frequency semantic decisions in agent workflows. The integration separates responsibilities where generative models handle understanding and planning, Jev handles bounded semantic judgments, and Harness manages permissions, execution, and validation. Qoder demonstrated two use cases: Auto Mode, which uses Jev to determine whether agent operations can execute automatically with permission judgment latency reduced by approximately 83 percent from 3.13 to 0.53 seconds, and browser automation, where Jev selects next-step page operations within a controlled decision loop. The approach aims to establish a clearer division of labor between generation, judgment, deterministic rules, and user control in agent systems.
