OpenAI today announced the GPT-4o image generator, introducing advanced image generation capabilities integrated within the ChatGPT-4o language model. The company says that GPT-4o represents a significant leap forward in image generation that should create images that are not only visually stunning but practically useful.

Previously, users had to visit a separate tool like DALL-E to generate images, but now, image creation will be seamlessly integrated into ChatGPT. This update is powered by OpenAI’s latest AI model, GPT-4o, which is designed to handle both text and images in a highly advanced way.

OpenAI said that, beginning Tuesday, this new version of ChatGPT would be available to people using both the free and paid versions of the chatbot. This includes both ChatGPT Plus, a $20-a-month service, and ChatGPT Pro, a $200-a-month service that provides access to all of the company’s latest tools.
