[ByteDance Releases Seedream 5.5, Launches Doubao, Doubao Work, and Jimeng] ByteDance officially released Seedream 5.5, the Doubao image creation model. Compared to its predecessor, Seedream 5.0 Pro, it boasts significantly improved generation speed, enhanced stability for multi-round editing, native support for transparent material generation, and key optimizations for image realism and small text rendering. Doubao, Doubao Work, and Jimeng have already integrated with Seedream 5.5, and the API will soon be available on Volcano Ark. Pricing continues the two-stage billing structure of "input image + output image," with no charge for text tokens. For example, editing a 2K square image costs approximately 0.28 yuan per image, less than half that of Seedream 5.0 Pro. (Sina Technology)
