AI image editing just got a new challenger. After weeks of Google’s Nano Banana dominating the scene, ByteDance has entered the ring with Seedream 4.0 — and it’s looking like serious competition. In this video, I put Seedream through its paces: camera angle shifts, style transfers, multi-reference generation, and more. Plus, we’ll cover a huge Veo 3 price drop and a sneak peek at OpenAI’s upcoming GPT Image Model.

If you’re into AI filmmaking, image editing, and next-gen creative tools, this one’s packed with insights, demos, and a few surprises.

👉 Watch to the end for updates on Veo 3’s new 9:16 output, native 1080p rendering, and why competition in AI image generation has never been this good.
