Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
This is a removed historical API model, not downloadable code/weights. Review the agreement and region in force when each archived output was generated. Today's OpenAI Services Agreement assigns output rights to the customer to the extent permitted by law, requires input permissions and output review, and does not ensure uniqueness or third-party clearance; it does not retroactively certify an old asset. Current API data documentation states no training unless you opt in, with abuse-log retention normally up to30days and legal/safety exceptions. These are API terms, not a blanket rule for ChatGPT or third-party channels.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 is a historical editorial score with no original scoring evidence recorded here. This documentation update did not re-score it; the score does not override its historical lifecycle status.
Overview
DALL·E 3 is retained as a historical OpenAI image-model entry. OpenAI's dated deprecation notice says its API was shut down on 2026-05-12, and the model page confirms removal. This is a migration reference, not a current image-service recommendation.
Keep the model name when identifying old outputs or integrations. For new work, consult OpenAI's current image-model documentation rather than attributing GPT Image features or prices to DALL·E 3. Other interfaces and third-party channels were not independently checked.
