Seedream 5.0 Pro, explained

Seedream 5.0 Pro is the top model of ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 family. It focuses on image quality: realistic light and materials, faithful prompt following and text you can actually read, from a poster headline to small print.

It handles text to image and image editing in one model. Upload pictures and refer to them as Image 1, Image 2 to swap an outfit, change a background or restyle a scene while the subject stays the same.

It is also the base that Seedream 5.5 improves on. On Seedream 5.5 AI it renders 1K or 2K in about 50 seconds; for 4K switch to Seedream 5.0 Lite and keep your prompt.
