Seedream 4.0 is a SOTA multimodal image creation model built on leading architecture. It breaks through the boundaries of traditional text-to-image models by natively supporting text, single-image, and multi-image inputs. Users can freely combine text and images to achieve diverse creative modes within a single model—such as multi-image blending, image editing, and sequentially batch image generation, featuring subject consistency, making image creation more free and controllable.
