## What Seedream 5.0 Lite does

Seedream 5.0 Lite follows prompts more closely than 4.5 and renders text inside the image more cleanly, at a lower cost than 5.0 Pro. It takes the same inputs as Seedream 4.5: a prompt, up to 14 reference images, nine output sizes from 2048x2048 to 3072x4096, sequential_image_generation for a related set, and optimize_prompt_mode.

## Call Seedream 5.0 Lite from code

The same model, from an agent or from your own code. Keys stay in your FlyMy.AI account.

### From an agent, through the MCP

The agent calls `get_model_schema`, then `run_model` with:

```
{
  "endpoint_id": "flymyai/bytedance-seedream-5_0_lite",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A ceramic mug on a sunlit kitchen counter, product photo"
  }
}
```

### From your code, over HTTP

Form fields, not JSON; files go as uploads or public URLs. The answer is a `prediction_id`; read the result at `https://api.flymy.ai/api/v1/flymyai/bytedance-seedream-5_0_lite/predict/async/result/?request_id=<prediction_id>`.

```
curl -X POST https://api.flymy.ai/api/v1/flymyai/bytedance-seedream-5_0_lite/predict/async/ \
