What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
DALL-E 3 established the default chat-native image-generation pattern (prompt inside the ChatGPT conversation, auto-diversified captions) that GPT Image and Imagen 4 still follow, but OpenAI's own current API docs mark it deprecated/removed and ChatGPT itself moved to GPT Image in March 2025 — historically load-bearing, not a live adoption target.
Next
Do not build new integrations against the retired DALL-E 3 endpoint; evaluate GPT Image 2 (OpenAI's direct successor) and Imagen 4 (already tracked) for any chat-native image-generation feature, keeping DALL-E 3 only as the historical reference for the prompt-in-conversation UX pattern.
