AI short drama brief, Nov 12: Seedance 2.5 4K reaches Krea and Picsart, Luma halves video-to-video rates, a one-person AI series passes 100 million views

Three things to watch today: Seedance 2.5 4K went live on Krea and Picsart on November 11, moving from enterprise trials to consumer platforms; Luma cut its video-to-video rates by about half and now bills generated plus reference seconds; and China Daily reports that Guixu, a 21-episode AI series made by one person, has passed 100 million views while a six-person remote team's Armed into the Song Dynasty has topped 12 billion. They bear on video model choice, retake budgets and team size. BytePlus has not published a 4K price, most figures are platform or press accounts, and we tested no models.
