OpenAI CEO Sam Altman introduced on Wednesday that the rollout of ChatGPT’s viral new AI picture options to free customers can be delayed, citing considerably increased demand than the corporate anticipated.
“Photos in ChatGPT are wayyyy extra widespread than we anticipated (and we had fairly excessive expectations),” Altman mentioned in a post on X on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the corporate introduced the launch of GPT-4o’s native picture technology, which lets customers add and modify photos, saying it will quickly come to all tiers of ChatGPT. As of Wednesday, OpenAI has solely rolled out the function to subscribers to ChatGPT Professional, Plus, and Groups.
In current months, OpenAI has confronted an analogous hiccups round product launches, repeatedly blaming an absence of compute capability. Shortly after launching Sora in December, OpenAI disabled signups. Maybe, the corporate’s deliberate $500 billion Stargate information heart challenge will assist with these capability constraints.
