In this era of rapid technological advancement, OpenAI has once again demonstrated its efficiency and innovation. Over the past week, OpenAI released three major updates, focusing on image generation, search optimization, and adjustments to the model’s personality. This not only highlights its technical strength in the AI field but also shows its swift response to user feedback and quick iteration capabilities. As a member of the tech industry, we observe how OpenAI continually pushes the boundaries of technology, bringing us exciting new features and experiences that make us eager to see what the future holds.

GPT-image-1 Model API Officially Launched：2025/04/24

OpenAI has launched the brand-new image generation model, GPT-image-1, and made its API available. This model is based on the GPT-4o multimodal architecture and supports generating images with resolutions up to 1024×1024. It offers a wide variety of styles, including realistic, anime, oil painting, and more. The model excels in detail expression and style consistency, making it comparable to mainstream image generation tools like MidJourney. Developers can use this API to quickly generate high-quality images, with applications spanning product rendering, creative design, and more. Imagine, what once required a large amount of time and manpower for image design can now be quickly created with a simple API call, producing stunning images. The release of GPT-image-1 not only provides developers with a powerful creative tool but also significantly lowers the barriers to AI-generated images, allowing more creators to rapidly realize their creative ideas.

GPT-image-1 differs greatly from the ChatGPT version, offering control over various aspects such as image sensitivity, generation speed, background, output format, render quality, and compression quality. It also supports the widely popular Ghibli style. Currently, well-known companies such as Adobe, Figma, HeyGen, and Wix have integrated this model into their products.

GPT-image-1 Pricing：

- Text Input (Text): $5.00 per million tokens.

- Image Input (Image): $10.00 per million tokens.

- Image Output (Image): $40.00 per million tokens.

According to OpenAI’s pricing calculator, the cost to generate images of different qualities is as follows:

Low-quality images: approximately $0.01 per image.
Medium-quality images: approximately $0.04 per image.
High-quality images: approximately $0.17 per image.

Important Note: OpenAI has implemented a new authentication method for API usage with the new model. If anyone encounters issues with verification, they can use Microsoft’s Azure cloud service to experience it.

ChatGPT Search Upgrade, Optimizing Shopping Experience：2025/04/29

OpenAI has made significant upgrades to ChatGPT’s search functionality, particularly optimizing the online shopping experience. The new feature can intelligently recommend products based on users’ natural language input and display detailed product information, including images, user reviews, and direct links to purchase pages. This feature not only enhances the efficiency of shopping decisions but also increases user interaction with ChatGPT.

Key Features:

- Search results are entirely generated by ChatGPT, without any advertisements.

- It displays product images, prices, and user reviews to help users make more informed purchasing decisions.

- Shopping results do not participate in any advertising revenue sharing, ensuring a pure shopping experience.

According to data from OpenAI, the upgraded ChatGPT search has surpassed 1 billion uses in the past week, demonstrating its strong potential in user information retrieval and online shopping decisions. However, this is not OpenAI’s first foray into the shopping field in 2025. Its AI agent, Operator, can control browsers to assist users in grocery shopping or booking travel, though its initial operations are still somewhat clumsy. In the AI search field, OpenAI’s competitor Perplexity launched its in-app shopping feature, “Buy with Pro,” at the end of 2024. Google’s shopping tag page has also added an “AI Research” section to some queries, providing review summaries and recommended product lists.

GPT-4o “Flattery” Issue Urgently Fixed：2025/04/30

Recently, OpenAI received feedback from the community, with users pointing out that the GPT-4o model exhibited an excessive tendency to be overly “flattering” or “greasy” in conversations, which sparked widespread discussion. In response, OpenAI quickly rolled back the related update. Currently, all free-tier users have resumed normal experiences, and the updates for paid users are being synchronized, expected to be completed tonight. This swift fix not only highlights OpenAI’s strong attention to user feedback but also reflects its maturity in product iteration and AI ethics.

ChatGPT Practical Training

The three updates released by OpenAI in the past week have fully demonstrated its innovative capabilities in the AI field and its keen sensitivity to user needs. With continuous technological advancement, OpenAI will undoubtedly continue to lead the trend of AI innovation in the future, meeting the growing demands of users.
