DALL-E 3

DALL-E 3 is OpenAI’s third-generation image model, released in October 2023 with tight integration into ChatGPT. Instead of requiring users to hand-craft detailed prompts, it uses ChatGPT to expand short requests into fuller descriptions before generating the image, which noticeably improved prompt adherence and text rendering compared to DALL-E 2. OpenAI has not disclosed the model’s parameter count or training details, publishing only a technical report focused on how it was trained to follow instructions more closely, including techniques to reduce the model’s tendency to ignore parts of a prompt. It is accessible through ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise plans as well as the OpenAI API, and it competes with models like Midjourney and Google’s Imagen line on prompt fidelity and image quality. OpenAI has since moved its focus to newer image models, so DALL-E 3 is now considered a legacy offering still in production use.
