Can't replicate. Maybe the rollout is staggered? Using Plus from Europe, it's consistently giving me a half full glass.

You might still be on DALL-E. My account is if you use ChatGPT. I switched over to the sora.com domain and now I have access to it.

the free site even has it, just dont turn on image generation it works with it off, if you enable it it uses dall-e

Hmmm, I wanted to do that tic tac toe example, and it failed to create a 3x3 grid, instead creating a 5x5 (?) grid with two first moves marked. https://chatgpt.com/share/67e32d47-eac0-8011-9118-51b81756ec...

Your images say "Created with DALL-E", so you have not tried out the new model yet. I think they are gradually rolling it out.

click the ...'s and make sure you disable images (w/ dall-e) apparently the native just works if u enable the images... it switches to dall-e lol

OpenAI's livestream of GPT-4o Image Generation shows that it is slowwwwwwwwww (maybe 30 seconds per image, which Sam Altman had to spin "it's slow but the generated images are worth it"). Instead of using a diffusion approach, it appears to be generating the image tokens and decoding them akin to the original DALL-E ( https://openai.com/index/dall-e/ ), which allows for streaming partial generations from top to botto…

i mean on free chat an image took maybe 2 seconds?

Is there any way to see whether a given prompt was serviced by 4o or Dall-E? Currently, my prompts seem to be going to the latter still, based on e.g. my source image being very obviously looped through a verbal image description and back to an image, compared to gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation. A friend with a Plus plan has been getting responses from either. The long-term plan seems to be to move to 4o comple…

don't enable images on the chat model if your using the site, just leave it all disabled and ask for an image, if you enable dall-e it switches to dall-e is what i've seen

the native just.. works

What's important about this new type of image generation that's happening with tokens rather than with diffusion, is that this is effectively reasoning in pixel space. Example: Ask it to draw a notepad with an empty tic-tac-toe, then tell it to make the first move, then you make a move, and so on. You can also do very impressive information-conserving translations, such as changing the drawing style, but also stuff l…

Do you have any demo videos?

No, I wasn't planning to post this for a couple weeks, but I saw the comment and was like "eh, why not?".

You can watch "sped up" past sessions by other people who used this demo here, which is kind of like a demo video: https://universal.oroborus.org/gallery

But the gallery feature isn't really there today, it shows all the "one-click and bounce sessions", and its hard to find signal in the noise.

I'll probably submit a "Show HN" when I have the gallery more together, and I think its a great idea to pick a multi-click gallery sequence and upload it as a video.

I hate modern marketing trends. This one isn't even my biggest gripe. If I could eliminate any word from the English language forever, it would be "effortlessly".

Idk, right now I think I'd eliminate "blazingly fast" from software engineering vocabulary.

I think Electron is giving you your wish.
