Seedream 5.0 Flash is the fast, low-cost tier of ByteDance Seed's Seedream 5.0 image model. It generates from a prompt, or edits and composes from up to 14 reference images, at one flat price per image with references included. In our tests images came back in 16 to 20 seconds, at 2048 by 2048 for a square.

On Treza it sits in the Image Generation node's picker and in chat. It suits the work where volume matters: product variations, ad tests, storyboards, and first frames for video. Pick one of seventeen aspect ratios, from 21:9 to 9:21, and wire the still into the rest of the pipeline. It bills from prepaid credits, and only successful runs are charged.

One flat price

Every image costs the same, whatever the resolution or the number of references, so a batch is easy to budget.

Up to 14 references

Carry a product, a character, and a setting into one image, with reference images free of charge.

Quick renders

Images came back in 16 to 20 seconds in our tests, fast enough to iterate on a prompt in chat.

Seventeen aspect ratios

From 21:9 and 20:9 banners to 9:20 and 9:21 phone screens, plus auto to follow the reference.

Seedream 5.0 Flash is one node on a canvas

Chain it with language, image, and video models, then publish the whole pipeline as an API. See how a full AI video pipeline fits together.

  1. Step 01

    Draft the brief

    A language model node expands a one-line idea into a detailed, on-brand prompt before it ever reaches the model.

  2. Step 02

    Generate with Seedream 5.0 Flash

    Run variants in parallel, compare against other models on the same prompt, and keep every result in run history.

  3. Step 03

    Publish it as an API

    The pipeline becomes a versioned endpoint. Your product calls it with the typed /invoke API or any OpenAI SDK.

Seedream 5.0 Flash as an API, priced per image

The Seedream 5.0 Flash API

Build a pipeline with Seedream 5.0 Flash on a node and publish it. It becomes a versioned HTTP endpoint: the typed /invoke route enqueues a run and returns a run id to poll, and an OpenAI-compatible route works with SDKs you already use. Agents connect over MCP the same way. Your prompt engineering ships inside the pipeline, so every caller gets your quality, and swapping the model later does not change the API your product calls.

Seedream 5.0 Flash pricing

Prepaid credits, no subscription. Each image is charged at Seedream 5.0 Flash's own rate from your balance, shown before you run, and only successful generations are charged, so a failed run costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5 and never expire, which suits spiky production schedules. Run history records the cost of every generation, per node, so spend is auditable rather than a surprise.
