What is Ark Agent Plan

Ark Agent Plan is the industry's first Agent package launched by Volcano Engine, deeply integrating multimodal large models with Harness tools. The released Ark Agent Plan integrates ByteDance's self-developed SOTA models such as Doubao-Seed, Seedance, and Seedream, as well as GLM-5.1、Kimi-K2.6 and other mainstream third-party models, with built-in Harness tools such as web search and Embedding. Through AFP (Agent Fuel Points) unified metering, it adapts to the full range of Agent needs from entry-level developers to AI studios.

Main features of Ark Agent Plan

• Comprehensive multimodal model aggregation: Native support for multimodal tasks such as text, code, images, and video, covering the Doubao-Seed series, GLM-5.1, Kimi-K2.6,DeepSeek-V3.2、MiniMax-M2.7 and other mainstream models.
• Auto intelligent scheduling: Automatically selects the most cost-effective model based on the task scenario, improving performance on long-tail Agent tasks.
• Harness tools ready out of the box: Built-in web search quota from the same source as Doubao, as well as the Doubao-embedding-vision model, enhancing the Agent's real-time information acquisition and long-term memory capabilities.
• AFP transparent billing: Introduces Agent Fuel Points for unified metering of model calls and tool consumption, with visible usage and controllable costs.
• Deep adaptation across multiple platforms: After configuration is complete,Claude Code、OpenClaw、TRAE、OpenCode, Hermes Agent, and other tools can automatically call package resources.

• One-click package configuration: Run ark-helper, select the [Volcano] Agent Plan package, and automatically obtain the API Key and web search key via SSO login.
• Select models and tools: Select the default text generation model (such as doubao-seed-2.0-code), and select the coding tool Claude Code to complete one-click configuration.
• Startup verification: Run claude in the project directory to start, enter /model to confirm the model points correctly, and begin conversations and multimodal tasks.

Core advantages of Ark Agent Plan

• The industry's first Agent package: Unlike single-model subscriptions or compute packages, it is the first to package Model + Harness, reducing the fragmented cost of integrating multiple tools.
• Multimodal productivity loop: One package can support a complete Agent workflow from text programming to video/image generation, with no need to pay separately for different resources.
• High cost-effectiveness entry threshold: The Small version costs only 40 yuan per month, with a base quota several times that of the Claude Pro Plan, lowering the cost of trying out Agents.
• ArkClaw native collaboration: Medium and above subscribers can experience for free the cloud-based "lobster" optimized based on OpenClaw, supporting "shrimp and horse co-raising" and long-term work habit learning.

Ark Agent Plan application scenarios

• AI programming and code assistance: Developers can complete code writing, debugging, and project setup by describing requirements in natural language, achieving an efficient Vibe Coding development experience.
• Multimodal marketing content creation: Content teams combine web search to automatically research hot topics, achieving fully automated social media operations from "hot topic collection → material generation → automatic publishing."
• Agent-based automated office work: Workplace staff complete long-horizon automated tasks in professional fields such as document analysis, case research, PPT generation, and data processing.
• Scaled monetization for AI studios: The Max version provides 25 times the usage of Small and an ultimate multimodal Harness, helping self-media, e-commerce operations, and AI service providers achieve scaled production capacity and high-ROI commercialization.

Ark Agent Plan FAQ

Q1: Can Agent Plan be used in multiple sets of tools at the same time?

• Yes. The same package supports reuse across all compatible tools, but the quota is globally shared; calls from all tools consume the same package quota.

Q2: After the package quota is exhausted, will it automatically deduct from other resource packs or balance?

• No. After the quota is exhausted within a period, you must wait for it to automatically reset in the next period; it will not trigger deductions from other resource packs or account balance.

Q3: After purchase, do I need to separately activate models or create endpoints?

• No. Agent Plan is "activated upon purchase." There is no need to additionally activate models or create endpoints; simply configure the tools according to the Quick Start documentation to use it.

Q4: How do I renew the package?

• It is recommended to enable auto-renewal when subscribing; if it is not enabled, go to the Ark Console → Activation Management and click the renewal button for the corresponding package to complete the operation.

Q5: Which models and Harnesses are specifically supported?

• It covers multimodal models such as language models, vision models, and embedding models, as well as Harness tools such as web search.

Q6: What are the quota limits and model deduction coefficients for each plan?

• They are divided by model category into ultra-fast, standard, advanced, image generation/video generation, etc. Each category has a different deduction coefficient. See the official points billing mechanism documentation for details.
