Doubao Work creation canvas, Seedream 5.0 Flash and Doubao 2.1 Lite
ByteDance added an infinite creation canvas to Doubao Work, with the new Seedream 5.0 Flash image model and the lighter Doubao 2.1 Lite model for everyday office tasks.
The canvas puts source materials, design options and finished output on one infinite page. Users can keep editing text, colors and layout after an image is generated. Seedream 5.0 Flash is the new image model behind it, and Doubao 2.1 Lite (the 0921 version) is a lighter model tuned for faster replies and lower credit use in documents, spreadsheets and slides. It sits in the model list next to Doubao 2.1 Turbo and 2.1 Pro.
