ByteDance releases Seedream 5.5, launching Doubao, Doubao Work, and Jimeng

On November 9, ByteDance officially released the bean bag image creation model Seedream 5.5. Compared with the previous generation Seedream 5.0 Pro, the new model generation speed has been greatly improved, and the stability of multi-round editing has been enhanced. It natively supports transparent material generation, and has made key optimizations for image realism and small text rendering, which better meets the quality, stability and efficiency requirements of professional creation scenes. Currently, Doubao, Doubao Work, and Jimeng have been synchronized to Seedream 5.5, and the API will be launched on Volcano Ark soon. In terms of pricing, Seedream 5.5 API continues the two-stage billing structure of "input image + output image", and text tokens do not incur fees. Taking 2K square image editing as an example, the cost per image is about 0.28 yuan, less than half of Seedream 5.0 Pro. In terms of multiple rounds of image editing, Seedream 5.5 has stronger command following capabilities and achieves pixel-level maintenance of non-edited areas. In the actual measurement, the model used the results of each round as the input for the next round. After completing hundreds of rounds of modifications, the subject characteristics, composition proportions, and light and shadow styles outside the designated editing area were still consistent. After 100 rounds of modifications, pixel-level maintenance is achieved in non-edited areas. Seedream 5.5 natively supports the generation and splitting of RGBA transparent materials, can directly output images with Alpha channels, and supports layered output of materials. In addition to Vincentian drawings, creators can also generate the required transparent materials through reference drawings. While retaining the rich form and texture of the subject, the model will accurately handle outline edges and transparent areas, making it reusable across scenes as design assets to improve production efficiency.
