What we know
- ByteDance Seed announced Seedream 5.5 on its official X account on November 9, 2026, and said it is coming soon to Dreamina, CapCut and BytePlus. It isn't available yet.
- What ByteDance says is new: more realistic images; edits that keep unedited areas pixel-for-pixel and lose less detail across up to 100 rounds; transparent and semi-transparent assets with native RGBA output; and more natural lighting, materials and skin, with much better small text.
- The API model ID, release date and price haven't been announced. The current version, Seedream 5.0, is sold through BytePlus ModelArk.
