Pika and Runway separately announced 4K availability for Seedance 2.5 on November 11, 2026. Pika’s announcement covers both Pika and the Pika API Club, while Runway says the model is now available in 4K within Runway. Big resolution, very brief announcements. SourceSource
Pika explicitly describes its offering as “native 4K.” Runway’s post says “Seedance 2.5 in 4K is here” without specifying native resolution. SourceSource
Pika says, “Draft the perfect take, then finalize it in 4K.” Its post doesn’t explain the generation stages or rendering process, including whether lower-resolution drafts are required. Source
AIWarper said they had tested Seedance 2.5 in native 4K and called it the best-looking AI video they had seen full-screen on a monitor. “Absolute fortune though at ~$1/second,” they wrote of the cost. Their post doesn’t identify the platform, plan or billing basis and doesn’t establish an official price for either service. Source
Neither company’s announcement post gives official pricing, eligible subscription plans, geographic access conditions or clip-length limits. SourceSource
