DALL-E 3 API released — announced at first developer conference DevDay

#DALL-E#OpenAI#AI History

At its first developer conference, “DevDay,” OpenAI released DALL-E 3 as a standalone API endpoint. GPT-4 Turbo and a new Assistants API were also announced the same day, meaning DALL-E 3 could now be called directly by developers without going through ChatGPT.

Details

  • Where it was announced: At OpenAI’s first developer conference, “DevDay,” alongside GPT-4 Turbo, the Assistants API, and new speech synthesis models
  • How it’s offered: Released as a standalone API endpoint called dall-e-3
  • Image specifications: Supports multiple resolutions, formats, and quality options ranging from 1024×1024 to 1792×1024
  • Pricing: Starting at $0.04 per generated image
  • Background: The API launch came about a month after OpenAI announced native integration into ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise that October

What happened next

With the DALL-E 3 API released, developers were no longer confined to ChatGPT’s UI and could embed the latest image-generation model directly into their own services. This pattern shown at DevDay — strengthening a model simultaneously via both API and ChatGPT — went on to become OpenAI’s standard style for announcing new models.
