OpenAI sunsets DALL·E 3 API, replaced by improved GPT Image 2

OpenAI has officially deprecated its DALL·E 3 API as of May 12, 2026, with earlier retirements for Azure OpenAI Foundry and internal ChatGPT use. Despite the deprecation, Bing Image Creator continues to list DALL·E 3 as an option alongside newer models like GPT-4o and MAI-Image-2.5-Flash, potentially routing requests to a different backend or operating under a separate contract. The successor, GPT Image 2, was released in April 2026, offering significant improvements such as native 2K resolution, flexible aspect ratios, and better text rendering capabilities compared to its predecessor.
