ByteDance Brings Out Seedream 4.0: A Cool New Tool for Making and Fixing Pictures

ByteDance has a new toy out called Seedream 4.0. It is a smart computer tool that helps make pictures from words and fix old ones too. Think of it like a magic brush that listens to what you say.

This tool came out to make things easier for kids, artists, and teachers. It works fast and makes pictures super clear, like in movies. No more slow waits or fuzzy lines.

You just type what you want, and it draws it. Or take a photo and say, "Make it better," and it does. It beats the old version by being quicker and smarter.

How Seedream 4.0 Works Step by Step

Seedream 4.0 has parts that make it special. Let us look at each one.

Batch Input and Output: Do Many at Once

This means you can give it lots of pictures to start with. Then it makes many new ones right away.

For example, upload five photos of flowers. It can turn them all into drawings in one go. You see them side by side to pick your favorite.

It keeps things the same, like colors or shapes. This saves time if you have homework or a big project. No need to do one by one.

Example Prompt

Refer to the images and generate a supermodel wearing a white dress and a plain silver wide-brimmed bracelet. She holds a silver storage bag in one hand, and raises a telescope to her eyes with the other. Her chin is slightly raised, and she leans against a silver futuristic motorcycle. The background is a desert, and there are several silver parachutes floating in the sky.

Prompt-Based Editing: Fix with Words

Here, you use easy sentences to change pictures. It is like telling a friend what to do.

Say, "Remove the boy in the picture" It erases him and fills the spot with grass.

You can fix old photos too. Add colors to black and white ones or clean scratches. Turn on lights in a dark room while keeping the night sky outside.

It even makes new scenes from a quick sketch. Draw a ball game rough, and it adds players and sun. All from one short note.

Versatile Styles: Try New Looks

This lets you change how a picture looks, like painting or movie styles.

Take your selfie and say, 

Change this picture to four styles: Hong Kong 90s style, Baroque style, oil painting style, and CG style. 

It turns you into a hero from a fun story.

Or pick watercolor for soft edges. It does groups too, so you get choices fast. Great for cards or stories.

Knowledge-Driven Generation: Smart Drawings

This part uses what it knows to make true pictures for learning.

It draws timelines, like kings from long ago with dates and signs. Or charts that show tall churches next to fancy houses.

Make a poster about why sleep is good. It adds words and drawings that fit. Or steps to make ice cream with notes.

It even maps plants in hot or cold places. All clear and right, like a good book.

Example Prompt

Draw the following system of binary linear equations and the corresponding solution steps on the blackboard: 5x + 2y = 26; 2x - y = 5.

Output

Seedream 4.0 scores high in tests. It follows what you say well and makes pretty pictures. In games like MagicBench, it wins for looks and fit.

ByteDance says it is top for fixing too. You can try it to see. It works on computers and makes big clear images.
