AI-generated visuals have begun altering digital culture and the Gemini AI Saree photo trend sweeping India shows this more clearly than anything else. Users have inundated social media platforms with hyper-stylised images of themselves in traditional clothing, causing a shared sense of fascination and warnings from police about privacy and misuse of data.
At the same time, Google’s Nano Banana AI (with a name like that how can it be bad) has also dominated global conversations with its ability to create fun ultra-detailed images using very little input. But perhaps the next headlines will be about Seedream 4.0, the next-generation image generation tool that the TikTok-owner ByteDance have launched as direct competition to Nano Banana.
With very fast rendering speeds, the ability to incorporate multiple reference images, and benchmark scores that reportedly outperform the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, this could shake up the competition in AI creativity.
In an attempt to compete with the rising popularity of its own Nano Banana, ByteDance has positioned Seedream 4.0 as an innovative product aimed at designers, marketers, or creators. It has the capability to create images in high-resolution in less than two seconds, allows for the acceptance of applications from up to six reference images, and can maintain a visual consistency throughout multiple outputs. This is particularly useful in storyboarding, product design, or filmmaking, where consistency is key.
Seedream 4.0 does not just generate from scratch. More specifically, it allows for edits of high quality to be made via natural language commands. Users do not have to learn a complicated interface; they simply describe what they want changed for backgrounds, disruptive elements or colors, and it will provide a clean edit with no disruption to fine detail of the image. ASCII claims that Seedream 4.0 surpassed Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image on its MagicBench benchmark, lending to its competition.
ByteDance launches Seedream 4.0 on Jimeng and Doubao AI apps and the enterprise-level Volcano Engine cloud platform. Although this release is China-first, it is emerging quickly and will likely release globally soon, directly competing with Google’s Nano Banana AI.
