OpenAI announced on July 31 the permanent removal of the DALL-E interface in ChatGPT, with a deadline set for August 30. Users will have roughly one month to download their saved images before migrating to ChatGPT Images, the new tool running on gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-1-mini models. This decision is part of a consolidation strategy around more integrated models, with DALL-E-2 and DALL-E-3 API snapshots scheduled for deprecation starting May 12, 2026. Custom GPTs with image generation capabilities will remain operational. This abrupt change represents a risk for user relations, as short transition timelines may push some users to turn to competitors.
