OpenAI is going to let users of ChatGPT’s free tier make up to two images per day with its DALL-E 3 model, the company announced on Thursday. When the company launched DALL-E 3 in September, it was available first to users who paid for ChatGPT Plus.
One of DALL-E 3’s key improvements is that ChatGPT can come up with a prompt to make an image, which should make it easier to make images. For example, as my former colleague Emilia David wrote last year:
In a demo to The Verge, Aditya Ramesh, lead researcher and head of the DALL-E team, prompted ChatGPT to help him come up with a logo for a ramen restaurant in the mountains. ChatGPT then wrote a longer prompt, and DALL-E came up with four options.
OpenAI says the ability to create images with DALL-E 3 is “rolling out,” but you might already have access: while writing this article, I was able to make two images with the ChatGPT Mac app before getting a notice that I had reached my image creation limit for the day.
It’s been a busy day for OpenAI news. The company released a safety assessment of its GPT-4o model, added a new person to its board of directors, and CEO Sam Altman was sent a letter from Democrats in Congress pushing for answers about OpenAI’s safety record.
