When will Azure OpenAI GPT-4o support image generation like OpenAI's recent update?

Question

Hi Team,

I’ve noticed that OpenAI recently enabled image generation with the GPT-4o model on their platform (reference: OpenAI GPT-4o announcement). I’m currently using Azure OpenAI services and would like to ask:

• Is there an expected timeline for when image generation features will be available for GPT-4o in Azure OpenAI?

Please let me know. Thank you!

Best regards, Muhammad Zubair

Hi Muhammad Zubair,

As of now, the GPT-4o model on Azure OpenAI Service supports image interpretation but does not include image generation capabilities. For image generation tasks, Azure OpenAI offers the DALL-E model, specifically designed to create original images from text descriptions.

Please refer to below thread for reference:

​Microsoft Tech Community+2Microsoft Learn+2Azure Aggregator+2

Currently, there is no publicly available timeline for when GPT-4o's image generation features will be integrated into Azure OpenAI Service. It's advisable to monitor the official Azure OpenAI Service updates for any announcements regarding this feature.​

In the meantime, utilizing the DALL-E model within Azure OpenAI Service is the recommended approach for image generation tasks.

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
