What is Image GPT?
Image GPT is a term that broadly refers to powerful artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI that can generate and edit images from natural language descriptions. While the name 'Image GPT' was associated with early research, it has come to represent the sophisticated image generation technology embedded within models like DALL-E 3 and the latest GPT-4o.
At its core, an Image GPT model functions as a text-to-image generator. This means a user can type a descriptive sentence or a set of keywords, and the AI will create a corresponding image. The technology has evolved significantly, moving from generating pixelated, abstract images to creating highly detailed, photorealistic, and stylistically diverse visuals.
