Key Upgrades
Seedream reports that Seedream 5.5 focuses on professional visual production workflows, improving quality, reliability, and efficiency. According to the company, the model addresses common pain points in multi-turn editing, asset composition, and text rendering.
Multi-Turn Editing and RGBA Assets
The model uses targeted training to preserve unedited regions at the pixel level, allowing continuous work on the same image across 100 rounds of editing without color shifts or detail loss. Additionally, it introduces native RGBA generation, producing images with an alpha channel directly to eliminate the need for manual background removal.
Performance and Realism
Evaluations across six professional use cases show substantial gains in usability rates compared to the previous version. The model also reduces severe text corruption rates and achieves leading results in text-to-image realism in expert evaluations.
