OpenAI’s new image generator, powered by its GPT-4O model, is now available to all users, CEO Sam Altman said in an article on X. This feature is not available to pay Chatgpt users until now.
While it is not clear how many images users on the free layer can generate, Altman mentioned a limit last week Three images per day.
Openai’s image generation tool took off immediately after its release, and Altman said demand was high and the company’s GPU “melt”. The tool also quickly became notorious for being used to convert pictures into the style of Japanese animation company Studio ghibli, which attracted attention. Given the similarity of styles, the company also used copyright and training data.
Some people also use it to generate fake receipts, e.g. Restaurant bills. An OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch that all of these images have metadata that Chatgpt produced them and that the company “takes action” if these images violate the company’s guidelines.
Meanwhile, Openai said today that it raised $40 billion Funds led by SoftBank at a valuation of $300 billion. The company also said Chatgpt has 500 million active users and 700 million active users every week.
