Hearing Seedream 5 Pro drops late June. 🍿 ByteDance turned the Lite release into a serious Pro jump — better in-image text, tighter prompt control, cleaner detail. ByteDance isn't chasing GPT-Image 2 anymore. They're racing it. 👀

Kling 3 vs Seedance 2 Original image generated by Seedream 5 Prompt: Live-action cinematic sequence. Another young woman, wearing a luxurious black two-piece bathing suit, enters the scene from the left (inside the house) and closes the drapes as they float in the gentle breeze. The woman walks, as the camera tracks her from behind, as she goes inside the room, where a suitcase is open on the bed. The woman is annoyed. We cut to a medium close-up of her. She mumbles to herself: "Fucking Italians... I hate this place!"

We tested identity preservation across four image models with one identical prompt Flux 2.0 pro, Seedream V5, and Kling V3 each produced a similar person. None produced the actual person HeyGen avatars are trained on real footage. That's the difference

I made a 40-minute version of The Odyssey, created end to end and fully automatically with @fal’s genmedia-cli. I’ll share a skill and more details soon so you can create similar videos. Models used: GPT-5.6 Terra as the agent, Krea 2 LoRA, Seedream v5 Pro, Seed Audio 1.0, ElevenLabs v3, ElevenLabs Music, Scribe v2, and fal video utilities.

Today’s been an absolutely stacked day for AI news. In case you missed it: 1. GPT 5.6 Sol and Sol Ultra dropping tomorrow. Early reviews say it’s not as smart as Fable but very positive. 2. Grok 4.5 launches from Cursor / SpaceX that claims Opus 4.7 quality at 80tps and $2/M in $6/M out price. 3. Bytedance Seedream 5 Pro launches as an image ~#2# and nearly as good as GPT Image 2 at 4x cheaper cost: $0.045-$0.09/image, specializing in edits and infographics. Easily beats Meta’s Muse Image. 4. GPT-Live launches a full duplex non-turn based voice model which allows interactions while you’re talking seamlessly, a huge upgrade in audio AI for consumer Coming soon: 1. Seedance 2.5 Pro expected to launch soon (early July) to further extend Bytedance’s lead in SOTA video gen models. Will use Seedream 5 Pro as the frame generator. 2. Gemini 3.5 Pro launching soon (July 17). Google seems to have fallen quite behind frontier and people eagerly await to see what Google can put out here amidst a string of high profile departures. 3. GPT-6 rumored to launch soon (Polymarket spikes at August 14) with a new larger retrain, taking aim at Fable.
