ByteDance AI
Seedream 5.0 (image) and Seedance 2.0 (video) — commercial-batch generation at scale.
ByteDance's generative stack — Seedream 5.0 for image and Seedance 2.0 for video — has emerged as the industry leader for e-commerce and product photography. Seedream is optimised for batch consistency (dozens of variations of the same product across lifestyles or environments). Seedance 2.0 features a unique '9+3+3' reference system (9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio clips as input for a single generation), the highest level of director control on the market. Note: Seedance 2.0 is in active legal disputes with Hollywood studios over training data, which may impact long-term Western-market availability.

Common questions about ByteDance AI
Real buyer and developer questions, answered. Click any item to expand.
What is the "9+3+3" reference system?
You can input up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio clips as references for a single video generation. It's the highest level of director control on the market — closest thing to a creative brief that the model actually respects.
Will the Hollywood lawsuit affect my access to Seedance?
Possibly in Western markets long-term. Nagent's failover routing to Veo / Kling is automatic if Seedance becomes unavailable in your region — your agents continue running without code changes.
When should I pick Seedream over Ideogram for image generation?
Seedream for product batches — same product across many lifestyles or environments while keeping the product itself perfectly consistent. Ideogram for typography-heavy design work. They're complementary, not competing.
Is ByteDance's data sent to China?
Inference runs on whichever endpoint you configure. For Western deployments use the US/EU endpoints; for Asia-Pacific the regional endpoints. Confirm specific data flows with your compliance team before deploying regulated workloads.
