Direct Seedream API Integration for Better Performance, Stability, and Lower Costs

Hi Customily Team, Thank you very much for enabling Seedream 5.0 Flash through OpenRouter! Since switching to Seedream 5.0 Flash, our AI image generation costs have decreased by approximately 73%, which is an incredible improvement! However, Seedream 5.0 Flash is currently only accessible through OpenRouter. I would therefore like to suggest a new feature: Allow merchants to enter their own official Seedream API keys and connect directly to the official Seedream API, without routing requests through OpenRouter. This could provide three major benefits: Better stability: Reducing dependency on OpenRouter as an intermediary could improve API reliability. Faster generation: Eliminating the additional routing layer could reduce latency and improve image generation speed. Lower costs: Avoiding OpenRouter's additional fee of approximately 5.5% could further reduce AI image generation costs. Looking ahead, as AI image generation usage continues to grow, AI token expenses are expected to become a significant part of merchants' operating costs. Therefore, continuously optimizing AI costs, speed, and reliability will be increasingly important from a business perspective. I hope the Customily product team will consider this feature request. Could you please let me know if there are any plans to support direct Seedream API integration? Thank you again for continuously improving Customily's AI model capabilities!
