Byted Seedream Image Generate

This is a wrapper for Volcano Engine's Seedream image generation API with three model versions to choose from. The 5.0-lite model is the clear winner here, supporting web search integration and custom output formats that the older 4.0 and 4.5 versions lack. You get text-to-image, image-to-image conversion, and batch generation with watermark control. The setup is straightforward if you have a Volcano Engine API key. One nice touch is the detailed version comparison table that actually tells you which model to use instead of making you guess. The script handles streaming responses and includes prompt engineering tips, though you're essentially paying for API credits on ByteDance's infrastructure.
