What Makes Seedream 5.0 Different?
Built for professional design and marketing workflows, Seedream 5.0 brings reasoning and live knowledge into AI image generation.
Reasoning-First Prompt Interpretation
Seedream 5.0 processes complex prompts through multi-layer logical reasoning, deeply understanding semantics to minimize prompt deviation and reduce the need for repeated refinement.
Live Web Search During Generation
The first image model to pull real-time data — current trends, public figures, and news events — directly into the generation pipeline via a search-and-create workflow.
Flexible Text-to-Image and Image-to-Image Workflows
Attach up to 14 reference images alongside text descriptions for style-consistent output, with brush-based local editing for fine-grained control over specific regions.
Cross-Shot Character and Brand Consistency
Keep character appearances, body proportions, and brand elements identical across a batch of images — perfect for campaigns, catalogs, and sequential storytelling.
Technical Highlights of Seedream 5.0
A unified 20B-parameter pipeline that merges deep prompt comprehension, live knowledge retrieval, logical reasoning, and precise editing.
Semantic Prompt Comprehension
Understands multi-layer prompts including technical photography terms like golden hour lighting, f/1.8 bokeh, and cinematic color grading.
Live Knowledge Retrieval
A search-and-generate pipeline that fetches current events, trending topics, and real-world references during inference for contextually accurate visuals.
Logical Reasoning Chains
Solves categorization, spatial layout, and arrangement tasks through identify-classify-arrange reasoning for compositionally complex scenes.
Local Editing & Attribute Transfer
Inpainting, outpainting, background replacement, and visual attribute transfer between images — all within a single generation pass.
Multi-Reference Composition
Combine up to 14 reference images with text descriptions while preserving style consistency — ideal for brand campaigns and product catalogs.
Up to 4K Resolution
2K native generation with 4K AI-upscaled output. Supports 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, and 21:9 aspect ratios in PNG or JPEG.
