Since the last tweet on X, where OpenAI CEO Sam Altman humorously acknowledged the strain on hardware and limiting the image generation limit of 3, stating, “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT. But our GPUs are melting.”, the company has now taken a bold step forward.

On April 1 at 6:03 AM, Altman announced, “ChatGPT image gen now rolled out to all free users“ marking a major shift from the previous limit of three image generations. This move expands access to OpenAI’s powerful AI art tool, allowing millions to experiment with AI-generated visuals without restrictions.

Despite previous concerns over GPU load, OpenAI is pushing forward, making AI-powered creativity more accessible than ever. With demand skyrocketing, it remains to be seen how OpenAI will manage the surge in users. One thing is clear that AI-generated art is no longer just a premium feature; it’s the future, and it’s free for all.
