Image generation

Seedream 4.5

Seedream 4.5 is the latest in-house image generation model developed by ByteDance. Compared with Seedream 4.0, it delivers comprehensive improvements—especially in editing consistency, including better preservation of subject details, lighting, and color tone. It also enhances portrait refinement and small-text rendering. The model’s multi-image composition capabilities have been significantly strengthened, and both reasoning performance and visual aesthetics continue to advance, enabling more accurate and artistically expressive image generation.

Use the Images API

Set MINIROUTER_API_KEY to your inference key. Copy the example.

curl --fail-with-body --retry 0 --max-time 120 \
  'https://api.minirouter.sh/v1/images/generations' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MINIROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -D response.headers --output response.json \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "model": "bytedance/seedream-4.5",
  "prompt": "A blue circle on a white background.",
  "n": 1
}'

Keep the request ID. The image response can arrive before its final charge. Check Request logs for the settled cost. A failed or disconnected request may still incur a cost; these examples disable automatic retries.
