SenseTime has unveiled Seko 2.0, an upgraded multi-episode drama generation platform aimed at short dramas and motion comics, capable of producing up to 100 episodes with consistent characters, scenes, and props across installments.

The release highlights a redesigned UI, long-context multi-episode generation, and Intelligent Agent scheduling to preserve character makeup and styling across varying scenarios.

LightX2V powers Seko 2.0, enabling real-time generation on consumer GPUs and supporting a growing developer and creator ecosystem with resources on GitHub, HuggingFace, and online demos.

SenseTime envisions expanding the ecosystem to invite more creators into AI-powered video production and to elevate content quality toward both high-brow and popular formats.

Domestic chip platforms are reaching international performance levels, with ongoing improvements to close the gap and plans to offer cost-effective, domestically hosted AI video creation options.

Seko 2.0 supports domestic China chip platforms to deliver competitive generation speeds and cost-performance, with continued efficiency gains.

Seko 2.0 runs on LightX2V, SenseTime’s open-source inference framework that enables real-time, low-cost, high-throughput video generation, featuring optimizations like DiT distillation, lightweight VAE, and sparse attention.

Seko has gained market traction, with titles like Wan Xin Ji topping Douyin’s AI Short Drama Chart and a strategic partnership with Yangtze River Film Group to co-create Jingchu cultural and historical short dramas and AI-driven film projects.

SekoTalk enables multi-person lip-sync and natural audio-visual synchronization, reportedly the first solution to support lip-sync for more than two people in multi-language, multi-person scenarios.

Since its July 2025 launch, Seko has drawn rapid adoption with over 100,000 creators in two months and more than 200,000 by mid-2025, including a large share from short and comic drama creators.

Phased DMD Distillation and a Mixture of Experts model reduce generation costs for multi-episode content by efficiently allocating specialized models to different generation stages.

SenseTime claims Seko 2.0 trims production cycles dramatically, cutting comic drama production time by 80% to 90% versus traditional workflows and enabling a one-person crew workflow.
