Seedream Image Generation Model Series
- Seedream 1.0 (early 2023). Early versions excelled at placing Chinese characters within images but lacked the capability to produce highly detailed or stylistically varied visuals.
- Seedream 2.0 (late 2024). Version 2.0 made waves in design circles for its typography handling and clean layouts, yet still lagged behind competitors in visual fidelity and inference speed.
- Seedream 3.0 (June 17 2025). Seedream 3.0 is a bilingual text‑to‑image model capable of handling detailed prompts, rich aesthetics and in‑image text. It delivers clean composition, adapts to varied styles (anime, photoreal, graphic design) and can place English or Chinese text within images.
- Seedream 4.0 (September 9 2025). The newest release unifies text‑to‑image generation and editing in a single model with a mixture‑of‑experts architecture, produces 2K images in ~1.8 seconds with support for 4K, accepts multiple reference images and outputs multiple images at once, and allows natural‑language editing. Version 4.0 also broadens style transfer capabilities, improves reasoning and world knowledge.

Multi‑Reference & Batch Generation
Seedream 4.0 stands out for its ability to accept multiple reference images and produce multiple outputs. Users can upload up to six references—such as different angles of a character or various style inspirations—and generate up to nine coherent images in a single run.

Creative Style & World Knowledge
The model supports combining multiple artistic styles—such as Baroque, Cyberpunk or Ukiyo‑e—and mixing them to create unique aesthetics. It also integrates world knowledge,enabling it to interpret complex instructions that involve physics, spatial relations.

Character Consistency
The model remembers faces and details across different angles and art styles, ensuring that a character’s identity remains recognizable. Users can combine multiple reference photos to guide identity and generate consistent characters throughout a storyboard or product series.
