Seedream 4.0 looks like a competent competitor against Google's Nano Banana, given its upgrades:

  • Unified creation and editing.
    Instead of juggling separate tools, you get image generation and editing in one model. Prompts handle both, so you can create or tweak visuals without switching modes.

  • Batch processing.
    Upload multiple reference images and get several outputs at once. Feels especially useful for anyone working with large sets of assets or iterating quickly.

  • Speed and fidelity.
    Faster inference, plus support for up to 4K resolution. Not a bad combo for impatient perfectionists.

  • Knowledge-driven generation.
    It’s not just about pretty pictures—Seedream can generate educational charts, timelines, and diagrams, thanks to its reasoning and reference consistency.

  • Prompt-based editing.
    Want to remove an object, change text, or repair a photo? Just describe it. The system translates your sentence into a visual update.

Some of the image samples are incredible!

Comment highlights

Seedream 4.0 is next-level! I’m fascinated by how it handles knowledge-based prompts and 4K outputs. I’d love to help push this even further — testing edge cases, crafting challenging prompts, or optimizing workflows. Ready to jump in today and make an immediate impact!”

Really Like the unified workflow here. Most tools make you switch between generation and editing, but having both in one model sounds way smoother. The batch processing and 4K output are also amazing.

Next-gen image creation meets editing in one unified model, built to handle complex multimodal tasks like reasoning, reference consistency, and knowledge-based prompts. It’s not just generative, it’s intelligent.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, but how does one actually try this out?

I like that Seedream gives devs more freedom to create content. This is a huge win over Nano Banana.

Seedream 4.0 sounds like a game-changer in the creative space! The integration of creation and editing is such a time-saver, and I love the idea of prompt-based editing. It's impressive to see the focus on both speed and quality, plus the educational features are a unique touch. Can't wait to try it out!

Seedream is starting to feel like having a full design team in one prompt box 😅 Wishing you all the best :)

Seedream 4.0 seems nice on my first tries. Would be awesome if we would also now get an Open-Source Nano Banana competitor that we can run on a local machine.

Cheers on the launch 🎉. 4K image generation + editing in one tool sounds amazing.
