OpenAI's New Text-To-Image Model DALL-E 3 Unveiled; Here's How ChatGPT Users Will Be Able To Use It

Artificial Intelligence company OpenAI has launched its new text-to-image model, DALL-E 3, which can translate nuanced requests into extremely detailed and accurate images.

"Coming soon to ChatGPT Plus & Enterprise, which can help you craft amazing prompts to bring your ideas to life," the company said on Wednesday in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

DALL-E 3 understands significantly more nuance and detail than our previous systems, allowing you to easily translate your ideas into exceptionally accurate images, according to the information on OpenAI's website.

DALL-E 3 is now in research preview, and will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise customers in October, via the API and in Labs later this fall.

"Modern text-to-image systems have a tendency to ignore words or descriptions, forcing users to learn prompt engineering. DALL-E 3 represents a leap forward in our ability to generate images that exactly adhere to the text you provide," OpenAI said.

Even with the same prompt, DALL-E 3 delivers significant improvements over DALL-E 2, the AI company said in a blog post.

According to OpenAI, DALL-E 3 is built natively on ChatGPT, which lets users use ChatGPT as a brainstorming partner and refiner of their prompts.

Users can just ask ChatGPT what they want to see in anything from a simple sentence to a detailed paragraph.

When prompted with an idea, ChatGPT will automatically generate tailored, detailed prompts for DALL-E 3 that bring a user's idea to life.

"If you like a particular image, but it’s not quite right, you can ask ChatGPT to make tweaks with just a few words," OpenAI said.

The company said that like previous versions, they have taken steps to limit DALL-E 3’s ability to generate violent, adult, or hateful content.

Here are some of the examples shared by OpenAI on its X handle:

1. "An illustration of a human heart made of translucent glass, standing on a pedestal amidst a stormy sea. Rays of sunlight pierce the clouds, illuminating the heart, revealing a tiny universe within. The quote 'Find the universe within you' is etched in bold letters across the horizon."

2. "Tiny potato kings wearing majestic crowns, sitting on thrones, overseeing their vast potato kingdom filled with potato subjects and potato castles."

3. "Close-up photograph of a hermit crab nestled in wet sand, with sea foam nearby and the details of its shell and texture of the sand accentuated."
