Seedream 4.5 Sequential is ’s multi-image generation model for creating whole series of images in one go. It keeps characters, props, and style consistent across all outputs, making it ideal for KVs, comic panels, and any visual set that should “look like one universe”.
Billing is per generated image, controlled by max_images.
total_price = $0.04 × max_imagesExample costs:
| max_images | Total price |
|---|---|
| 1 | $0.04 |
| 4 | $0.16 |
| 8 | $0.32 |
The exact price for your chosen settings is always shown in the WaveSpeedAI interface before you run the job.
Enter your prompt Describe the scene, characters, and what must stay consistent, e.g. “Same girl with red hoodie and headphones, different city locations, cinematic lighting.”
Set max_images Choose how many images you want in the series. Each one will follow the same prompt and consistency logic.
Set size Choose width and height, up to 8192 × 8192 for maximum detail.
Run and review Generate the series, check continuity across faces, outfits, and props, then refine the prompt for another pass if needed.
Please set the max_image first, and then input how many images you want to generate in prompt! Such as:
max_image = 4.
Prompt: I want to generate 4 images... + (your prompt)
Nano Banana Pro Google’s ultra-low-cost, high-throughput T2I model. Great for lots of individual images or quick ideation, but it doesn’t provide built-in cross-image character locking.
Seedream V4 – sequential ’s single-image Seedream generator with rich detail and stylish output. Ideal when you want one-off hero shots or standalone illustrations rather than a strictly consistent series.
Qwen Image Edit Plus Qwen-Image is a 20B MMDiT-based text-to-image generation model, especially strong at native text rendering in both English and Chinese. It is a powerful creative tool for posters, comics, and visual storytelling, while also excelling at general image generation from photorealism to anime.
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedream-v4.5/sequential with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Seedream v4.5 Sequential below.

time.sleep(2)Seedream v4.5 Sequential is a ByteDance model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedream 4.5 Sequential generates multi-image sets with consistent characters and objects, unifying palette, lighting, and style across all outputs. Supports up to 4K results for campaigns, storyboards, and product lines. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedream-v4.5-sequential.
Seedream v4.5 Sequential starts at $0.040 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `size`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `max_images`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedream-v4.5-sequential.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 20 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
