OpenAI debuts DALL-E API so devs can integrate its AI artwork into their apps

On Thursday, OpenAI announced the introduction of an API for its DALL-E image synthesis model that will allow developers to easily integrate its AI image generation technology into their apps. DALL-E, currently available as a standalone commercial service, allows people to generate novel 1024x1024 images from text descriptions called "prompts." The generated images can vary in style from photorealistic to abstract--and many styles in between. OpenAI's new API allows software developers to feed an image prompt and other parameters into OpenAI's DALL-E engine over the Internet. OpenAI then generates the image on its servers and returns the image for display in the requesting app.
