Seedream 4.5 was good, but Seedream 5.0 seems like beating Nano Banana Pro. It’s been a week since it rolled out on Dremina with users posting lots of generated images (and a shit ton of viral Seedance 2 videos). People having access now. CapCut has it already, freepik lying on having accesses & higsfield just only released soul 2 as their own image model. I’m using it now alongside nano banana pro but soul obviously beats it in realism in some cases - camera effects, locked character, etc - especially when coupled with ChatGPT prompts. I wonder if seedream is as good at aesthetics tho? Can’t wait to try it finally, especially to see how it deals with new no copyright rules now. I’ve made my research comparison based on open sources shared by CapCut users. ChatGPT, Seedream, Soul, Nano Banana - whos best now?… What do you guys think? How will Seedance and Seedream deal with no copyright?? submitted by /u/Flyingbird777

Copyright stuff is going to be messy no matter what these companies claim, training data provenance is basically a black box for all of them. If you just want to mess around without committing to a subscription, https://vidhapi.app/generate-seedance-2-5 and https://vidhapi.app/generate-seedance-2-fast do pay as you go access to those models with fewer restrictions than the official apps, which is nice for testing before you decide what’s actually worth paying for long term. Curious if anyone’s compared output quality directly though.
