Seedream 5 Pro task directions
These local references help turn the current Seedream 5 Pro input and control contract into a concrete task direction. They are not presented as output from this model.
Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.
