Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
ByteDance did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
ByteDance said last month it would take steps to prevent the unauthorized use of intellectual property on its AI video generator Seedance 2.0, following threats of legal action from U.S.
studios, including Disney.
Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Chinese firm last month, accusing it of using Disney characters to train and power Seedance 2.0 without permission, after videos generated by the model went viral in China, including one of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in a fight.
Seedance 2.0 has drawn attention after earning comparisons with DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company that has built models rivaling those of Anthropic and OpenAI.
Tech executives, including Elon Musk, have praised its ability to generate cinematic storylines from a handful of prompts.
ByteDance had been aiming to make the new video model available to customers worldwide in mid-March, but the company has since suspended those plans, The Information report said.
ByteDance’s legal team is working to identify and resolve potential legal issues and engineers are adding safeguards to prevent the model from generating content that could lead to further intellectual property violations, the report added.
