DALL·E

AI for Image Generation
Discontinued

DALL·E 3 was OpenAI's text-to-image model, integrated into ChatGPT and formerly available through the API. OpenAI's current model documentation says the DALL·E 3 API model is deprecated and removed; current ChatGPT image generation is offered through newer image tools.

Stable Diffusion

AI for Image Generation
Usage-based

Stable Diffusion is Stability AI's family of image-generation models, including Stable Diffusion 3.5 variants for self-hosting, API use, cloud partners, and web applications. Eligible users may use core models under the Stability AI license; hosted API use is credit-based.
