Doubao Seed Evolving: the recommended text tier
Pro is the same-rate sibling; the two are interchangeable for most hard episodes.
Where you pick it
Settings → Model Preferences → Text Model. The choice applies to the three text jobs that cost credits — reading a script, writing a script with AI, and generating an episode’s storyboard — from the next task on. Translations of what you see on screen and the small helper calls do not follow it. Nothing already generated is redone by switching.
It carries the Recommended badge in the Settings list.
What it is for
The episodes the default tier stumbles on: long ones, crowded ones, ones where the storyboard failed its format check twice. It keeps the strict storyboard format on the first draft more often, holds a large cast in one pass and keeps long scripts’ episodes intact. For ordinary episodes it produces storyboards comparable to the default at twice the price.
What it costs
On this tier, reading a script costs 4 credits per thousand characters (a thousand equivalent characters for alphabet-based scripts, see the pricing page), a storyboard costs 1 credit per hundred characters of the episode’s share of the script, and AI writing costs 4 credits per thousand characters written. That is 100% of the base rate. Most failed tasks are refunded automatically; a few kinds of failure hold the credits until support checks the task.
The default tier is at 50%. Switch per task: this tier for the hard episode, the default for the rest.
Evolving or Pro
Same rate, same jobs. Evolving carries the site’s recommendation; Pro is the family’s full-size fixed tier. If one fails twice on an episode, try the other before moving to a higher rate.
Common errors
What you may meet on this tier:
| What you see | Usual cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A long script or a dense episode fails | The reply ran past what one call can return; the site already ran it once more | The credits stay held until support checks the task. Trim the script or split it before running again |
| Storyboard generation failed | Neither of two drafts came back as a usable storyboard | Nothing was saved or charged; the credits stay held until support returns them. Regenerate, or switch tier |
| “The generation service hit a temporary problem. You weren’t charged — feel free to try again.” | The service was saturated; the site already tried again once | Try again in a few minutes |
| The storyboard came back in the wrong language | The tier ignored the language setting | The site redoes it once automatically; if it still arrives wrong, regenerate or switch tier |
When to switch again
Up to Qwen3.8 Max for the hardest scripts. Back to the default for routine episodes.

FAQ
Is Recommended the same as default?
No. The default for text stays the cheaper tier; Recommended is the badge on the tier the site suggests for hard episodes.
Should I set it as my default?
If most of your episodes are long or crowded, yes; otherwise switch per episode and keep the cheaper default.
Does it change how the script is read?
A script is read on whichever tier you had when the read ran; switching later affects new tasks only.
Evolving or Pro for a failing episode?
Either; same rate. Try the other one if the first fails twice.
Give a hard episode the recommended tier
Switch to Evolving for the episode that keeps failing, regenerate its storyboard, and switch back.
