GPT-4O: Precise texts in pictures thanks to new AI technology
Openai sets milestone in multimodal AI development
With the new GPT 4O model, Openai has achieved a significant breakthrough in AI image generation. One of the most remarkable skills in the model is the precise representation of text within generated images-a problem that often presented previous AI image generators with great challenges. This innovation marks an important progress in multimodal AI technology and opens up new applications for creative and companies.
The revolution of the text rendering in AI generated pictures
A long-term problem with AI generated pictures was the faulty presentation of text. Previous models often produced strange combinations of drawing or illegible text passages, which significantly restricted the possible uses. With GPT-4O, Openaai has now presented a solution that represents text in impressive accuracy-from handwritten notes to signs to complex infographics and logos.
The improvement is based on the native multimodal architecture of GPT-4O. In contrast to previous systems in which separate models were responsible for text and image, GPT-4O processes all modalities in a single model. This integration eliminates information losses that previously occurred between different models and enables more coherent processing of image concepts and text content.
Extended skills and technological foundations
GPT-4O was trained with a combination of images and texts, which not only learned the model how pictures are related to language, but also how pictures are related to each other. This enables a deeper understanding of context and more precise image generation, which is consistently with the user requirements.
A remarkable technical progress is the ability of the model to process up to 20 different objects at the same time and to correctly present their relationships with each other. This leads to much more coherent scenes and enables more complex visual narrations. The image consistency is significantly higher than in previous models such as Dall-E 3, albeit not yet perfect-occasionally details such as hair growth can easily change in characters.
In-context learning and image transformation
Another innovative function is the “in-context learning”, in which GPT-4O can analyze the images uploaded by the user and incorporate their details into new image generations. This enables, for example, creative transformation of hand drawings or the adaptation of existing images according to specific requirements.
Practical applications in natural conversation
The integration of image generation into the conversation model of GPT-4O transforms the way users interact with AI image generators. Instead of isolated prompt entries, images can now be created and refined in natural conversations.
This dialog -oriented approach enables iterative work on pictures. Users can take a generated image as a starting point and then request specific changes, such as “make the sky darker” or “add a red balloon”. The system keeps the context over several dialogues, which makes image processing and adjustment significantly more intuitive.
Application examples with perfect text rendering
The improved text presentation now enables the creation of:
- Business cards with correctly shown contact details
- Infographics with readable labels and diagrams
- Logos with precise lettering and hexadecimal colors
- Presentation films with a transparent background
- Social media graphics with integrated messages
In a test with a handwritten poem from a diary, it was shown that GPT-4O delivers much better results than comparable models. The ability to correctly reproduce even longer text blocks depicts GPT-4O from competitors such as Midjourney or Adobe Firefly, which are strong in photo-realistic representations, but weaken when the text integration.

Rolling and availability
Openai has started to gradually roll out the new image generation function for different user groups. Currently, users have access to the function with Chatgpt Plus, Pro, Pro, Team and Free Accounts, whereby users of the free version have to expect restrictions on the number of generable images. Enterprise and Edu customers should follow later.
Dall-E remains available as a separate option via a special GPT, but will no longer be the standard image generator in Chatgpt. An API access for developers should follow in the coming weeks.
Security measures and limits
Openai equips all images generated with GPT-4O with C2PA metadata that characterize their AI origin. These provenance information is part of the efforts to create transparency in relation to AI generated content and prevent potential abuse.
Openai CEO Sam Altman emphasizes that the new image generator should give users more freedom in image generation, with fewer denials of content. At the same time, the company wants to “respect the very long limits that society will ultimately set for AI”.
Despite the impressive progress, GPT-4O still has some limits:
- Occasionally wrong cutting of pictures
- Possible hallucinations similar to text models
- Difficulties in presenting many distincter concepts at the same time
- Inaccurate representation of text in non-Latin writings
A milestone with future potential
The integration of a powerful image generation function with precise text rendering in GPT-4O marks an important milestone in the development of multimodal AI systems. The ability to correctly present text in images solves one of the most stubborn problems of previous AI image generators and opens up new creative and commercial applications.
The native multimodality of GPT-4O, in which a single model is responsible for all modalities, indicates the way that AI systems will take in the future. Instead of developing isolated skills in different systems, we move towards integrated models that can seamlessly combine different forms of communication and presentation.
While GPT-4O already shows impressive progress in text-image synthesis, it remains to be seen how this technology will develop, especially with regard to non-Latin writings and more complex visual concepts. The continuous improvement of these skills could lead to even more intuitive and versatile AI assistants who fundamentally change our creative and communicative work.
