OpenAI’s updated 4o Image Generation model, available through ChatGPT, continues to draw attention for its ability to generate visuals in a variety of styles, including those reminiscent of Studio Ghibli. The model, now officially referred to as gpt-image-1, is described as “inherently multimodal” and has become accessible via API. Major partners are already reserving access to the platform, signaling broader integration in creative workflows.
According to OpenAI, “The model’s versatility allows it to create images in a variety of styles, accurately match user queries, apply knowledge about the world, and correctly render text, opening up countless practical use cases across a variety of domains.” This broad functionality is a key reason for the growing interest among businesses and developers.
