Questions
Seedream 4.0 on Leap, answered.
- Is this the real Seedream 4.0?
- Yes. Leap sends your request to ByteDance's model through its provider and gives you back what it makes. Switch to any other model in the same studio when an idea needs it.
- What does it cost?
- In dollars, per run: the provider's list price plus 10%. You see the exact price before every run, a run that fails costs nothing, and there is no subscription. Every model's price is on the pricing page.
- Do I need a ByteDance account?
- No. One Leap account and one balance run Seedream 4.0 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
- What happens to what I make?
- It stays in your library while your account is active, ready to use anywhere.
