Website: All Image AI

Language: English

BAGEL is ByteDance Seed’s unified multimodal foundation model with 7B active parameters. This page exposes its exact text-to-image path for detailed square compositions while keeping the optional paid thought-token pass disabled.

## Model details

- Developer: ByteDance Seed
- Status on All Image AI: Active
- Last verified: 2026-08-25
- Maximum output: 1K
- Modes: Text to Image
- Reference images: not supported
- Resolutions: 1K
- Aspect ratios: 1:1

## Best for

- Dense fantasy scenes
- Unified-model experimentation
- Square concept art
- Complex compositional prompts

## How to use

1. Write a detailed scene with clear spatial relationships.
2. Use square composition language.
3. Refine with one output first.
4. Generate a small final batch after the prompt stabilises.

## Settings explained

### Aspect Ratio

The exact generation operation returns a 1024×1024 image, so only square is offered.

### Seed

Reuse a seed when tightening a complex prompt.

## Prompt examples

### World-building

> Ancient observatory floating above storm clouds, crystalline arches, tiny lantern-bearing figures, two moons, cinematic depth

### Object study

> Intricate brass astrolabe on black velvet, museum lighting, engraved markings, centred square composition

## Limitations

- Square 1K output on this endpoint
- No reference editing in this first route
- Thought-token generation is disabled to keep price deterministic

## Pricing and credits

Credits for one image at default quality and mode. Resolution, quality, reference inputs, edit mode and output count can change the total. Check the Generate button before submitting.

| Resolution | Credits / image |
| --- | --- |
| 1K | 8 |

Failed generations cost 0 credits. Catalog availability does not guarantee runtime availability; the workspace reports whether the selected model can run.

## Test results

Testing in progress. No verified benchmark scores have been published for this model.

## Commercial use and image handling

BAGEL is released under Apache 2.0; generated use remains subject to applicable law and site terms.

Uploads are processed by the configured inference service. You can delete a generation from your history.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is thought mode?

The upstream option spends extra tokens and raises price by 20%; it is disabled until the checkout can quote it explicitly.

### Can BAGEL understand images too?

The broader model can, but this page intentionally calls only the exact text-to-image operation.
