- R · What Makes It Special
- OpenAI's DALL·E 3, its 2023 image model, which understood significantly more nuance and detail than its earlier systems and was built natively on ChatGPT, which could write detailed prompts for it; OpenAI said the images people create with it are theirs to use, and the model was designed to decline requests for public figures by name or images in a living artist's style, with an opt-out for creators. Offered in ChatGPT and the API, it was removed from the OpenAI API on May 12, 2026.
