Model Overview

This bilingual (Chinese-English) image generation model supports arbitrary image dimensions — as long as the product of width and height remains within a generous limit (up to 2K). It offers faster response times, improved rendering of small text and layouts, stronger visual aesthetics and structural consistency, and high fidelity in fine details.

Quick Example

Let's generate an image of the specified size using a simple prompt.

Python

import requests
import json  # for getting a structured output with indentation

def main():
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
        headers={
            # Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
            "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        json={
            "model": "bytedance/seedream-3.0",
            "prompt": "A T-Rex relaxing on a beach, lying on a sun lounger and wearing sunglasses.",
            "aspect_ratio": "16:9",        
        }
    )

    data = response.json()
    print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
