# ByteDance Seedream 5.0 Lite - Smart AI Image Creation

> Generate images with web-connected retrieval and enhanced instruction following using Seedream 5.0 lite in ComfyUI

Seedream 5.0 lite is the latest image generation model from BytePlus. It is the first in the Seedream family to bring in web-connected retrieval, which means the model can draw on live online information when generating images.

## What Seedream 5.0 Lite is good at

* **Web-connected retrieval**: The model pulls from live web data during generation, allowing creations to be tied to real-world trends, current events, and up-to-date knowledge
* **Smarter instruction following**: Handles complex, multi-step instructional prompts far more reliably. Multi-image inputs, local editing instructions, and batch style requests all land closer to the intended output
* **Stronger consistency**: Character identity, product appearance, style, and lighting all hold up much better across a set of generated images
* **Deeper world knowledge**: Expanded knowledge base makes the model useful for technical illustration, educational diagrams, and knowledge-heavy creative work

## Example outputs

Multi-step local editing, following several boxed instructions in one pass:

*Change the glasses in the green box to circular lenses, the orange purse in the blue box to a purple oval purse, and her shoes in the red box are patterned with leopard print.*

Style transfer between two images:

*Refer to the second image and change the style of the first picture to match that of the second image.*

Product consistency across a batch of generated photos:
