DALL·E GPT leaves ChatGPT on Aug. 30

OpenAI retires the official DALL·E GPT inside ChatGPT on August 30, while ChatGPT Images remains available on every tier and custom GPTs with image generation are unaffected, according to Notebookcheck’s summary of the release-note change. OpenAI tells users to download images they want to keep, but has not said what happens to images tied to the retired GPT after the deadline. Builders shipping image workflows should treat model surfaces as disposable dependencies: save exported assets and test replacement paths before a UI alias disappears, the same provenance seam exposed by Google Earth’s rapid AI rollback.
