BytePlus’s new fast image model focuses on speed, layout and low cost. In our launch-day tests, text-to-image took 15–20 seconds and all three lines of a Chinese poster rendered correctly. Reference images are free: 1 and 10 reference images were each billed $0.018. Pricing matches the provider, and top-up bonuses bring it roughly 9%–17% below the official price.
Before integrating, note:
sequential_image_generationandstreamare not supported; any value returns 400- Without
watermark: false, images carry an “AI generated” watermark - Transparent assets need
layer_decomposition, which is billed per output image, often a dozen or more
