Microsoft is making waves by introducing OpenAI’s latest DALL-E 3 model to its Bing Chat and Bing Image Creator platforms. The announcement comes after a gradual rollout, initially targeting Bing Enterprise users before becoming available to a broader audience.
We’re excited to share that DALL-E 3, the latest and most capable text-to-image model from OpenAI, is now generally available to everyone within Bing Chat and Bing.com/create—for free! The DALL-E 3 model from OpenAI delivers enhancements that improve the overall quality and detail of images, along with greater accuracy for human hands, faces, and text in images.
DALL-E 3 represents the third iteration of OpenAI’s image generation technology and boasts significant improvements. Microsoft claims that its model can now generate more creative and photorealistic images due to an improved understanding of prompts.
One striking aspect of DALL-E 3’s implementation is its commitment to safety. It refrains from recreating images of public figures and steers clear of generating hateful or NSFW content. Microsoft has also taken steps to watermark AI-generated images for identification purposes and has implemented a content moderation system within Bing Image Creator.
Beyond Bing, Microsoft is looking to leverage DALL-E technology in various applications. For example, the company is actively developing Paint Cocreator, an AI-powered image creation tool that will bring DALL-E directly into the Windows Paint app, promising exciting possibilities for creative enthusiasts.
While DALL-E 3’s availability to the public is a significant milestone, it has encountered some initial challenges. The overwhelming demand for the service has led to server overload issues, preventing users from processing new image requests. Microsoft acknowledges the unexpectedly high interest and is working to address these server limitations, said Mikhail Parakhin.
Folks, we know DALL-E 3.0 generation right now is taking longer than normal. We expected some strong interest, but we didn't expect THAT much, especially given it's a weekend. Bringing more GPUs in, will be better soon.
