As part of the ChatGPT 4o rollout (the newest and most advanced version of ChatGPT ), the model’s image-generating capabilities have seen a huge boost. With a focus on realism, detail, and creativity, there are a lot of new things you can make.

When DALL-E first launched, it lived on its standalone website; since then, it has moved to ChatGPT. The move came with many benefits, including the ability to ask the AI chatbot for an image you want in the same interface where you are already chatting about something else, thereby eliminating the need for constant context switching.

OpenAI has enabled its previously paid-only image generation feature for free ChatGPT users, allowing them to create custom visuals from text prompts. The rollout, announced by CEO Sam Altman, is being met with both praise and critique while encouraging users to explore the new capabilities.
