ByteDance Is Rewiring Its AI Video Bet

ByteDance is consolidating two of its AI video products. ByteDance’s CapCut unit recently folded Xiaoyunque into Jimeng while keeping Xiaoyunque’s standalone entry point. Xiaoyunque focuses on automated short-drama production, turning scripts into storyboards and finished episodes, while Jimeng is a broader AI creation platform for image and video generation and editing.
