Volcengine Ark FAQs

Is Ark only for chat completions?

No. Ark spans multiple model capabilities; map endpoints to embeddings, chat, code, or multimodal tasks explicitly in your architecture docs.

Does the Coding Plan include IDE licenses?

Treat IDE bundles as separate SKUs unless sales attaches them in writing to your order form.
