The new ChatGPT image generator, based on the GPT-4o reasoning model, is once again available to users without a subscription, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced.
This model has gone viral on the internet. Many users have started generating their photos in the style of the anime Studio Ghibli. The free version has a limit of 3 generation per day.
The feature was so popular that OpenAI was not prepared for it, so the generator was suspended for free users. Altman even joked that the company's graphics cards were overheating due to the extremely high demand. The launch of the new feature led to the company attracting a million new users in just one day.
As a reminder, OpenAI recently completed a new round of funding, raising $40 billion. This was the largest funding round for a private technology company in history, and now values the company at $300 billion.
