The new AI image model from ByteDance called Seedream 4.0 is claimed to support advanced text-to-image generation and combines them with image editing features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The company says Nano Banana AI might be a big hit in the public but its own AI image model outperforms the Google model in its internal testing base. AI image models are getting better with every generation and since ChatGPT showing the world its value, others have followed suit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>ByteDance Seedream 4.0 vs Nano Banana: How Does It Perform?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">According to media reports, Seedream 4.0 picks up the good traits of version 3.0 but it features a new architecture that improves the image inferences speed 10 times better than its predecessor. The editing results have got a positive impression and the people using the tool like the accuracy of the images that are generated using the text prompts fed into the AI system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But the claims made by ByteDance are hard to vouch for, something that most people can do for ChatGPT and Nano Banana tools because millions have used them. China\u2019s AI models like DeepSeek have been tried out in other regions but Seedream 4.0 is still limited to the local market and available through some of the apps that are restricted to its home region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>The US vs China AI Battle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">AI image generation carries a definite user privacy concern. And having China-based AI models will raise the issues when they head over to the West, especially the US. Nano Banana might have originated from the US but its craze in India is hard to ignore. More importantly, you have Nano Banana available beyond the Gemini app. You can even use the AI image model on WhatsApp via Perplexity AI bot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">AI images have caught the imagination of millions, allowing them to restore old photos, or place them in a fun setting, like flying in space or artistic styles. Gemini Nano Banana is giving ChatGPT a tough run in the last few weeks and the new WhatsApp feature just makes it easier to use. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3265191515 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
