The model has been out some time now. Arguably the best image generation model on the planet. Why is it not available in Azure OpenAI Service still? When will it be made available?

Dall-e is previous generation model, not suitable.

    Hi SILVER SEPP,

    DALL-E model, which can create original images from textual descriptions. However, DALL-E is considered a previous-generation model and may not meet the advanced requirements.
    Regarding the availability of GPT-4o's image generation capabilities in Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft has not yet made an official announcement about its integration. Hopefully, this feature will be added soon. However, you can keep an eye on the Azure OpenAI Service release notes for updates on What's new in Azure OpenAI Service and Azure OpenAI Service models page will be updated accordingly with more details.

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.
