It is anticipated that OpenAI’s new image-generation capability will rank among its most well-liked product releases to date. According to Brad Lightcap, OpenAI’s director of day-to-day operations and worldwide deployment, over 130 million users have created more than 700 million photos since the updated image generator appeared in ChatGPT on March 25.
Lightcap posted on X on Thursday, saying,
“We appreciate your patience as we try to serve everyone. The team continues to work around the clock.” “India is currently the most rapidly expanding ChatGPT market,” Lightcap continued.
The contentious capacity of OpenAI’s new image generator to produce realistic Ghibli-style images caused it to go viral when it was made available to all ChatGPT users earlier this week. Although it has resulted in millions of new users signing up for ChatGPT, it has also put a significant burden on OpenAI’s capacity.
CEO Sam Altman stated that as OpenAI attempts to build up resources to meet demand, the picture generator’s prominence has resulted in product disruptions and occasionally impaired services.In addition to this news, Altman, the CEO of the firm, claimed that using their AI chatbot was “melting” their GPUs as the Ghibli-style AI craze took over.
“It’s great to see users admiring images in ChatGPT, but our GPUs are overheating,”
said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a tweet. While we optimize, we’re implementing some temporary rate constraints; this will not take long! ChatGPT’s basic tier will soon receive three generations per day.
