No Longer DALL-E Limited

In contrast to earlier models, GPT-4o can create images on its own from its internal knowledge base and not through diffusion models like OpenAI’s DALL-E.Nevertheless, users can still access DALL-E for generating images when needed. OpenAI elaborated, “Creating and tailoring images is as easy as conversing with GPT‑4o – just tell us what you want, including any details like aspect ratio, precise colors in terms of hex codes, or a transparent background.”

Social Media Responses

GPT-4o’s new capabilities were tested by users straight away, with responses posted online. Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke was stunned when the model accurately described the anatomy of a foreign creature on his son’s t-shirt, answering with, “How is this even real?”

Indian users also experimented with the potential of the model by creating images, converting existing pictures into various styles, and even creating user interfaces from text inputs.
