--- title: "Seedream 5.0 Pro AI model: facts and benchmarks | Kendr" canonical: "https://kendr.org/models/bytedance-seed-seedream-5-0-pro" date_modified: "2026-09-06" profile_kind: "reference" --- # Seedream 5.0 Pro model profile Seedream 5.0 Pro is a ByteDance Seed model profile with a no verified token context limit in this snapshot. The dated catalog snapshot records text, image modalities and interfaces for image generation, vision. Seedream 5.0 Pro is an image generation and editing model from ByteDance Seed. It is suited for commercial visual-production workflows that require precise editing control, lifelike scenes, and natural rendering. Seedream 5.0 Pro is a reference profile: ByteDance Seed publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call. Seedream 5.0 Pro is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt. Seedream 5.0 Pro accepts text and image and returns image. The snapshot records image generation and vision as capabilities or interfaces. The dated unit-price records list $0.045 per image for output_image, $0.09 per image for output_image (high_resolution), and $0.003 per image for input_image. Each figure retains its billable dimension, variant, provider, source, and evidence date. No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated. No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated. Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated. ## Profile facts - **Profile type:** Model research profile - **Provider or publisher:** ByteDance Seed - **Context window:** No verified limit - **Snapshot date:** 2026-09-06 - **Knowledge cutoff:** Not disclosed - **Reference catalog ID:** bytedance-seed/seedream-5-0-pro ## When to pick Seedream 5.0 Pro Seedream 5.0 Pro is a reference profile: ByteDance Seed publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call. Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field. - Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described. - Reach for it when the output is image. This route produces image rather than only text, and those units are priced separately from tokens. - Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr. - Look elsewhere when you are building an agent. No tool-calling capability is recorded for this model in the snapshot. Agent loops need a route that can call functions. ## Context, modalities, and identity Seedream 5.0 Pro accepts text and image and returns image. The snapshot records image generation and vision as capabilities or interfaces. - **Provider or publisher:** ByteDance Seed - **Context window:** No verified limit - **Maximum output:** No verified numeric limit - **Input modalities:** text and image - **Output modalities:** image - **Knowledge cutoff:** Not disclosed ## Model overview Seedream 5.0 Pro is an image generation and editing model from ByteDance Seed.

Each figure retains its billable dimension, variant, provider, source, and evidence date. These are dated third-party reference prices, not Kendr prices or an availability offer. Routes, tiers, caching, region, and provider policy can change the landed price. - **Price date:** 2026-09-06 - **Input:** No verified rate - **Cached input:** No verified rate - **Output:** No verified rate | Billable | Variant | Cost | Unit | Provider | As of | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | output_image | Default | $0.045 | per image | Seed | 2026-09-06 | | output_image | high_resolution | $0.09 | per image | Seed | 2026-09-06 | | input_image | Default | $0.003 | per image | Seed | 2026-09-06 | ## Provider routes, performance, and uptime The snapshot retains 1 provider endpoint. Provider prices, context limits, p50 performance, and uptime can differ by route and are not Kendr guarantees. - **Active provider endpoints:** 1 - **Best p50 latency:** No recent metric - **Best p50 throughput:** No recent metric - **Availability with routing:** No recent metric - **Availability without routing:** No recent metric - **Performance date:** 2026-09-06 | Provider | Quantization | Input / 1M | Output / 1M | Cache read / 1M | Context | p50 latency | p50 throughput | Uptime (1d) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Seed | unknown | $0 / 1M | $0 / 1M | No verified rate | 0 tokens | No recent p50 | No recent p50 | 100.00% | ## Benchmark evidence and limitations No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot.
