One of the largest artificial intelligence trends of the recent period was the tool of creating a new image created by OpenAI and producing visuals in specific styles such as Studio Ghibli. This technology, which is greeted with great interest of users, arouses admiration on the one hand and forces OpenAI’s infrastructure to its borders. According to CEO Sam Altman, users seem to have flocked to Chatgpt after the new vehicle.

OpenAI’s new GPT-4O image-backed model draws attention with its ability to produce visuals that mimic the style of Japanese animation Hayao Miyazaki’s style or other studios. Users can only create scenes with high emotional depth, which gives a detailed feeling of drawing with text commands.

This technology has become the new favorite of social media in a short time with both nostalgic and artistic aspects. Many creative studies, from historical events that were re -imagined in the style of Ghibli to modern pop culture figures, have seized the internet.

GPUs started “melt”

However, this madness put an unexpected burden on OpenAI’s hardware infrastructure. CEO Sam Altman, in a sharing on social media, the company’s graphic processors (GPU) almost because of excessive demand “melted” expressed in a humorous language.

Visual creation processes with artificial intelligence is much more complex than traditional image processing methods. Artificial intelligence makes millions or even billions of calculations to analyze each pixel and determine the most appropriate color and texture. This requires full capacity operation of large -scale GPU clusters. As the user demand explodes, the limits of OpenAI’s processing power are difficult. Even so new feature has been opened today for free users.

One million users in one hour

This new feature of OpenAI has brought a record new users to the platform. According to Sam Altman, one million users were reached in five days when Chatgpt was released on the days when the release of the Chatgpt, while the Ghibli -style image was added to a million new users in just one hour. The chat robot reached 400 million active users per week last month.

While this sudden growth accelerated the efforts to make OpenAI’s infrastructure more efficient, the company temporarily imposed some restrictions. For free users, three daily visual creation limits were introduced and the processing time was extended to prevent the system from collapse under excessive load.
