DALL-E
OpenAI's text-to-image generation model that creates original images from natural language descriptions, with DALL-E 3 representing the latest generation integrated into ChatGPT.
DALL-E was first announced in January 2021, with DALL-E 2 following in 2022 and DALL-E 3 in 2023. The latest version generates significantly more accurate and detailed images than its predecessors. DALL-E 3 is integrated directly into ChatGPT, making it accessible to 100+ million weekly users. The model refuses to generate images of real public figures and has content filters for harmful content. DALL-E helped catalyze a broader text-to-image market that has generated over 15 billion AI images.
