Seedream 4.0

Overview

Seedream 4.0 is ByteDance's industrial-grade workhorse image generation model — engineered for high-volume batch generation where price-per-image is the dominant economic factor. At a flat wholesale rate of $0.021 per 4K image, Seedream 4.0 is the cheapest production-quality text-to-image and image-to-image option in the TensorsLab catalog. Quality is sufficient for the vast majority of commercial use cases: e-commerce product variations, marketing creative at scale, social media content batching, and template-driven generation. When you need the highest-fidelity model, use Seedream 5.0 Lite or Nano Banana Pro; when you need to generate at industrial volume on a tight unit-economics budget, Seedream 4.0 is the right tool.
