ByteDance Seedream

Use this skill when an application calls Seedream directly through the first-party Ark image-generation API. It covers text-to-image, reference-guided generation, natural-language editing, multi-image fusion, grouped outputs, and streamed grouped outputs. It does not cover Seedance video generation, third-party gateways, consumer apps, model training, or UI automation.

All volatile facts below were checked against first-party documentation on 2026-07-09. Recheck the linked model catalog, availability, pricing, and retirement pages before a production launch.

Evidence labels

• Documented means a current ByteDance Seed, Volcengine, or BytePlus page states the behavior.
• Provider claim means a first-party product or research page makes a qualitative performance claim; treat it as marketing until tested on the application's corpus.
• Operational recommendation means a production practice inferred from the documented contract, not a provider guarantee.
• Unknown means the first-party pages reviewed do not establish the behavior. Feature-detect or ask support instead of inventing a contract.
