As part of today’s update, OpenAI is switching ChatGPT’s image generation tool from DALL-E to GPT-4o. The latter algorithm is a multimodal large language model that launched last April. OpenAI says that the upgrade will significantly enhance ChatGPT’s graphic design skills.

OpenAI is integrating new image generation capabilities directly into ChatGPT starting today — this feature is dubbed “Images in ChatGPT.” Users can now use GPT-4o to generate images within ChatGPT itself.

OpenAI unveiled an updated version of its AI system GPT-4o that can generate more realistic images, the result of a year-long effort with human trainers.
