Benchmarks
Operator guidance
Route here when prompt fidelity and in-image text matter most. Avoid when you need high throughput / low latency, custom styles via fine-tunes, raw photorealism, or open weights — and factor in its deprecation.
Use cases
- Complex prompts that must be followed faithfully without prompt engineering
- Images that need legible, correctly-spelled text
- Conversational generation via ChatGPT
Limitations
- Deprecated: OpenAI has scheduled API support to end in 2026
- Only three fixed output resolutions
- Higher latency and cost than distilled open models
- Stylises / over-beautifies; weaker raw photorealism
- Architecture undisclosed; no open weights or fine-tuning
