What is 4o Image Generation Technology?

4o image generation is the latest image generation technology developed by OpenAI, directly integrated into the GPT-4o language model. This technology represents a major breakthrough in the field of AI image generation, capable of producing high-quality, photorealistic images, with excellent performance in text rendering, image transformation, and instruction following.

Compared to the previous DALL-E 3 series models, 4o image generation technology has stronger capabilities and broader application scenarios. Its goal is not only to generate aesthetically pleasing images but also to ensure these images are practical and useful.

Technical Features

  • ✓ Photorealistic Quality: Generates highly realistic images suitable for professional scenarios, rich in detail.
  • ✓ Precise Text Rendering: Solves the difficulties traditional image generation models face with text rendering, accurately rendering text content into images.
  • ✓ Image Transformation Capability: Can receive images as input and transform them, supporting various operations such as style transfer, content editing, and more.
  • ✓ Detailed Instruction Following: Able to follow complex instructions, accurately implementing users' creative ideas, providing more precise control.
  • ✓ Integrated in Language Model: Directly integrated into the GPT-4o language model, achieving seamless combination of text and image capabilities.

Technical Principles

4o image generation technology is based on advanced multimodal large language model architecture, integrating text understanding and image generation capabilities in the same model. This integration allows the model to better understand user intentions and generate images that better meet expectations.

The technology uses advanced scanning mechanisms and generation strategies, enabling it to quickly generate images while maintaining high quality. Additionally, it employs special text rendering techniques to ensure that text in images is clear and readable.
