Dall-E 3

What is DALL-E 3?

DALL·E 3 is an AI system from OpenAI that creates original, realistic images and art from text descriptions. It can also edit existing images—adding, removing, or retouching elements using plain language—and generate new versions inspired by an original image. The system learns from large collections of images paired with their text descriptions and uses a diffusion process that starts with random noise and gradually shapes it into the final picture.
