# Seedream 5.0 Lite

> Latest image generation model supporting text, single-image, and multi-image inputs, optimized for stronger prompt understanding, network-enhanced timeliness, and professional visual creation.

Seedream 5.0 Lite is ByteDance's latest image creation model. It supports text prompts, single-image references, and multi-image inputs, and can generate image sets in a single request.

The model introduces web search grounding for more up-to-date image generation and improves instruction understanding, visual analysis, world knowledge coverage, reference consistency, and quality in professional production scenarios.

It is positioned as a capable general-purpose image model for both text-to-image and image-to-image workflows while maintaining a simple per-image pricing model.
