ByteDance released Seedream 5.5 and is gradually rolling the image model out through Chinese apps including Doubao and Jimeng, and its Volcengine cloud. The company says it preserves unchanged parts of a picture down to the pixel through 100 consecutive edits.

The model also generates transparent-background images, allowing designers to place assets into layouts without manually cutting them out. ByteDance says serious text errors appeared in 0.4% of its test images. Its performance comparisons with competing models have not been independently checked.
