What Seedream 5.0 does well

Seedream 5.0 Lite is ByteDance's image model. Its Kreavo model card reads: smart reasoning plus web search, advanced typography. It supports up to 10 reference images, image editing, multi-image input and two distinct person references, in seven aspect ratios including 4:5 and 21:9. Seedream 4.5 is the previous flagship, with up to 10 reference images and image editing in the same seven ratios. Both share your product and AI influencer assets with every video model on Kreavo, so a Seedream still can become the first frame of a Seedance 2.5 or Kling 3.0 clip.

• Up to 10 reference images, image edit, two distinct people

Limits to know

• Two distinct people in one image is listed on Seedream 5.0 Lite, not on Seedream 4.5
