What Is Seedream 5?
Seedream 5 is ByteDance's next-generation AI image model designed to push image generation beyond aesthetics into intelligent, knowledge-driven creation.
Unlike traditional AI image tools that only understand text prompts, Seedream 5 can search the web in real-time, reason through complex instructions, and learn editing patterns from examples.
Seedream 5 is designed for:
- Trending content with real-time knowledge
- Data visualization and infographics
- Educational and scientific diagrams
- Style transfer and feature migration
Core Capabilities
Seedream 5 introduces three industry-first capabilities that form the foundation of intelligent image generation.
Real-Time Web Search
The first AI image model with live web retrieval — create images of trending topics, recognize public figures, and generate culturally-accurate content.
- •Trending news and viral topic image generation
- •Celebrity and public figure recognition
- •Culturally-aware localized content
Trending keywords trigger web retrieval automatically.
Controllable Editing
Dramatically reduced hallucination. Transfer color tones, styles, and lens effects between images, or learn transformations from before/after pairs.
- •Precise instruction following with reduced hallucination
- •Feature transfer: color, style, makeup, lens effects
- •Example-based editing from before/after pairs
Upload references and describe the change — Seedream 5 applies it precisely.
Logical Reasoning
Multi-step reasoning with physical world knowledge and domain expertise in biology, architecture, geography, and data visualization.
- •Multi-step reasoning for complex compositions
- •Realistic proportions, spatial layout, material properties
- •Domain expertise: biology, architecture, data viz
From CAD drawings to biological diagrams — professional-grade domain knowledge.
