Which AI model makes the collage?+
Seedream 5.0 Pro from ByteDance. We compared it with Seedream 5.0 Flash and Nano Banana 2 on the same photo, and Pro gave the most convincing paper layers and magazine scraps.

The pose, colors and framing carry over, and faces stay recognizable in most looks. Strong looks such as pixel art and clay simplify details on purpose.
