Seedream 5.0 Pro is documented as its own BytePlus ModelArk endpoint with 1K, 1.5K, and 2K tiers. Its Pro ID runs separately from Seedream 4.0, and a higher version number does not automatically make prompt, reference, or resolution options compatible.

ByteDance documents 4K output, combined generation and editing, and up to a dozen reference images for Seedream 4.0. Its public ModelArk documentation does not list those features as inherited specifications for Seedream 5.0 Pro.
