OpenAI's new image generation tool, integrated into ChatGPT 4o, is experiencing immense popularity, leading to temporary limitations on GPU usage. CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the issue, stating that their GPUs are "melting" due to the overwhelming demand. This surge highlights the significant computational resources required for complex AI image generation, pushing the limits of current infrastructure. The new model within ChatGPT is designed to replace DALL·E as the default image generator and aims to provide superior realism and speed compared to its predecessor.

The company is implementing measures to manage the high demand, including rate-limiting image requests. OpenAI delayed the new GPT-4o image generation feature for free users due to high demand. While there's no word on specific limits for paid users, it's expected they are also experiencing slowdowns. The popularity of Ghibli-style images has even flooded social media, prompting discussions about artistic integrity and the physical constraints of supporting such intensive computational tasks at scale.
