Seedream 5.0Search. Reason. Create.
Three Industry Firsts in One Model
Live Knowledge, Fresh Images
The first AI image model with built-in web retrieval. Seedream 5 automatically searches the web when it detects trending topics, public figures, or culturally-specific references in your prompt. The result is images grounded in current information, not frozen training data.
Precise Edits, Reduced Hallucination
Describe changes in plain language and get exactly what you asked for. Transfer color tones, styles, and lens effects between images, or teach the model new transformations from before/after pairs. Seedream 5 follows instructions precisely with dramatically reduced hallucination.
Multi-Step Reasoning for Complex Scenes
Seedream 5 applies multi-step reasoning with real-world knowledge to compose complex scenes. It understands spatial relationships, realistic proportions, and material properties, with domain expertise spanning biology, architecture, geography, and data visualization.
Text to image and image editing
Generate images from text prompts or edit existing images with natural language instructions.

What is Seedream 5.0?
Seedream 5 is an advanced image generation model that introduces three industry-first capabilities: real-time web search for up-to-date content, controllable editing with reduced hallucination, and multi-step logical reasoning with domain expertise. It generates production-ready images with exceptional text rendering across multiple languages.
How does the web search capability work?
When Seedream 5 detects trending topics, public figures, or culturally-specific references in your prompt, it automatically retrieves relevant information from the web. This means your generations reflect current events, recognize real people, and produce culturally accurate content without relying solely on training data.
What types of editing does Seedream 5 support?
Seedream 5 supports conversational natural language editing, style and color transfer between images, sketch-guided edits, and inpainting for adding, removing, or replacing elements. You can also teach it new transformations by providing before/after example pairs.
What output quality and resolution does it support?
Seedream 5 generates detailed 1K outputs that can be scaled to higher resolutions for production and campaign delivery. It produces clean, legible text rendering in posters, labels, signs, and infographic-style visuals across multiple languages.
How do I get started with Seedream 5.0?
Seedream 5 is available now on fal.ai. Try it in the playground or integrate it into your applications via the fal.ai API with Python and JavaScript SDKs. Install the SDK, grab an API key from your dashboard, and make your first request in a few lines of code.
How do I use Seedream 5.0 via API?
Seedream 5 is available through the fal.ai serverless API. You can integrate it using the Python or JavaScript SDK, or call the REST API directly. No GPUs to manage, no infrastructure to set up.
