BYTEDANCE'S NEW IMAGE AI SURVIVES 100 EDITS WITHOUT LOSING THE PICTURE

ByteDance's Seed team released Seedream 5.5 on November 9, an image generation and multi-step editing model that holds pixel consistency in unedited regions across up to 100 sequential local edits, outputs native transparent (RGBA) assets, and renders small multilingual text more reliably.

It is rolling out gradually across Dreamina (Jimeng), CapCut, Doubao, BytePlus and Volcano Engine Ark, with a 2K edit costing about 0.28 yuan. A Pro version is promised but undated, and no API model ID had appeared — do not switch a production route yet.
