New releases from OpenAI to be delayed, writes Sam Altman on X amid Ghibli viral trend
Open AI boss Sam Altman has said his company is limiting the feature since the immense popularity across the globe to use ChatGPT to generate images in Studio Ghibli style has put additional pressure on server load.
"We are getting things under control, but you should expect new releases from openai to be delayed, stuff to break, and for service to sometimes be slow as we deal with capacity challenges," he posted on his X handle.
"Working as fast we can to really get stuff humming; if anyone has GPU capacity in 100k chunks we can get asap please call!," he said.
