The DALL-E API won't be officially announced until later this fall, according to OpenAI, but today the company shared details about a customer already leveraging the DALL-E API for a specific enterprise use case. New York City-based Cala, a startup that bills itself as the "world's first operating system for fashion," offers a digital platform (including a mobile app launched in March) that allows creators to design and produce clothing lines, unifying the process from product ideation through order fulfillment. With the addition of DALL-E-powered text-to-image generating tools, users can generate new visual design ideas from natural text descriptions or uploaded reference images – which the company says are first-of-its-kind capabilities for the fashion industry.
