From PC Mag: OpenAI has halted access to the image generator for free users amid high demand. "Images in chatgpt are wayyyy more popular than we expected (and we had pretty high expectations)," CEO Sam Altman tweeted this afternoon. "Rollout to our free tier is unfortunately going to be delayed for awhile." (It had to do the same thing with the Sora video generator in December.)
OpenAI has added AI image generation capabilities to ChatGPT. Users can now select the GPT-4o model, provide prompts, and get desired images within the regular ChatGPT window.
Previously, ChatGPT was dependent on OpenAI’s DALL-E model for images. Now, it uses the 4o model’s native multimodal capabilities to provide "precise, accurate, photorealistic outputs."
OpenAI touts GPT‑4o's skill for "accurately rendering text, precisely following prompts, and leveraging 4o’s inherent knowledge base and chat context—including transforming uploaded images or using them as visual inspiration." Translation: Expect fewer weird results.
