Doubao Seedream 4.5 – next‑gen image creation and editing model
Hi HN — we just open‑sourced/released (or “publicly launched”, depending on whether it's open‑source) a new image generation & editing model called Doubao‑Seedream-4.5, by Volcano Engine. Compared with 4.0, this version delivers: Better editing consistency — the subject’s fine details, lighting, and color tone are preserved even after edits; Improved portrait retouching & beautification, yielding more natural, high‑quality human images; Much improved small text generation, allowing clearer and more readable embedded text (e.g. signage, interface labels, captions); Stronger multi‑image…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN — we just open‑sourced/released (or “publicly launched”, depending on whether it's open‑source) a new image generation & editing model called Doubao‑Seedream-4.5, by Volcano Engine. Compared with 4.0, this version delivers: Better editing consistency — the subject’s fine details, lighting, and color tone are preserved even after edits; Improved portrait retouching & beautification, yielding more natural, high‑quality human images; Much improved small text generation, allowing clearer and more readable embedded text (e.g. signage, interface labels, captions); Stronger multi‑image compositing — you can combine multiple input images / prompts more reliably to produce coherent, aesthetically pleasing results; Enhanced inference performance and overall visual aesthetics — results are more precise and artistic. For creators building AI‑powered creative tools (image generators, illustration pipelines, concept‑art workflows, etc.), Doubao‑Seedream-4.5 offers a substantial upgrade over most 4.x‑era image models. We’d love feedback from the community — edge‑cases discovered, prompts that fail or succeed especially well, compositing tricks, retouching workflows, anything you find interesting.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
