Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] README: SEED-Story is a multimodal LLM generating long stories with coherent narrative text and character- and style-consistent images, built on SEED-X; links model and StoryStream dataset on Hugging Face. · locator: README header · source: https://github.com/TencentARC/SEED-Story
- [sourced_fact] Repository license file states Seed-Story is licensed under Apache-2.0 except for listed third-party components. · locator: license_Seed-Story.txt header · source: https://github.com/TencentARC/SEED-Story/blob/master/license_Seed-Story.txt
- [upstream_claim] Paper abstract frames multimodal story generation as interleaved image-text with long coherent sequences as the challenge. · locator: abstract · source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.08683
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
