Free Access to OpenAI’s GPT-4o Image Generation Model via Bing Image Creator

Unlocking Creativity: Bing Image Creator Adds Free Access to OpenAI’s GPT-4o

Microsoft has made a significant enhancement to its Bing Image Creator by introducing complimentary access to OpenAI’s advanced GPT-4o image generation model. This upgrade comes after OpenAI seamlessly integrated image generation capabilities into its GPT-4o framework earlier this year, marking a shift from relying solely on standalone models such as DALL-E.

GPT-4o Model: Advanced Capabilities and User Benefits

The newly implemented GPT-4o model is designed to produce highly accurate images, adeptly interpreting text inputs and closely adhering to user commands. Users can not only generate new visuals but also edit existing images by leveraging their uploaded content as a creative base. It’s important to note that while GPT-4o creates more intricate images, this increased detail does result in longer rendering times compared to the previous DALL-E 3 model.

Flexible Options with User Choice

In response to user feedback, Microsoft has decided to keep the classic DALL-E 3 model available alongside the new GPT-4o model. This means that users have the flexibility to select their preferred model when generating images. Bing Image Creator remains free of charge, currently allowing users to create up to 15 images using fast generation capabilities. After reaching this threshold, each additional fast generation will require 10 Microsoft Rewards points; however, unlimited image generation at standard speed continues to be available.

Official Announcement and Accessibility

The Bing team has expressed their commitment to user creativity through their recent update, stating:

We recognize that creativity is nothing without freedom. That’s why now, with just a click, you can switch models to DALL-E 3 to not only get quick AI image generation but also more options to choose from – all with the same look and feel you’ve been accustomed to from Bing Image Creator.

How to Access the Updated Bing Image Creator

Users can easily access the upgraded Bing Image Creator by visiting bing.com/create, utilizing the Bing mobile applications, leveraging Copilot Search, or directly inputting prompts into the Bing search bar or Edge address bar. Additionally, those with ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, or Free accounts can also enjoy free access to the GPT-4o image generation model.
