The site has 62 and 22 reproducible cases for each, respectively. Below, we compare strengths, prompt writing, and final results side by side.

The Bottom Line

GPT Image 2.6 is better for Looping animations and reaction stickers; Seedream 4.0 is better for Native Chinese prompt comprehension. Running the same idea through both is usually worth it — they "listen" differently, so the prompt has to be adjusted to match.

Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

GPT Image 2.6

Looping animations and reaction stickersSeries featuring the same character or productIn-image Chinese text and layoutFocused edits that change one thing
For animations, break the motion into individual frames, state what stays still, and ask for the last frame to lead back to the first. For a series, start with a clean base image that has one checkable detail, then list what must not change. Use low complexity for small edits and high complexity for dense text and intricate layouts.

Seedream 4.0

Native Chinese prompt comprehensionProduct and still-life photographyEveryday scenes and festive subjectsSteady composition and color
Write in Chinese directly. Naming concrete materials and light directions (frosted glass, side backlight, linen weave) works far better than adjectives like "premium feel".
