GPT-4o makes image generation a native conversational capability
OpenAI added native image generation to GPT-4o in ChatGPT, supporting multi-turn edits, image inputs, and markedly improved text rendering and instruction following compared with earlier image tools.
Why it matters: Text reasoning, world knowledge, layout, and iterative visual editing could happen in one conversation, making image generation useful for diagrams, mockups, and communication rather than only art.
