Will ChatGPT remove image creation for free users in March?

On March 25, 2025, OpenAI introduced native image generation capabilities to ChatGPT through its GPT-4o model, enabling free-tier users in the United States to create and modify images directly within the platform. This market will resolve to "Yes" if OpenAI's ChatGPT removes or disables image generation capabilities on GPT-4o for the majority of free users in the United States between March 26, 2:00 PM ET and March 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." If OpenAI announces that it is disabling image generation for free users, this market will immediately resolve to “Yes,” regardless of when or whether the policy goes into effect. The absence of native image generation due to technical issues, temporary glitches, or third-party interventions will not be considered for the resolution of this market. Only changes implemented as a deliberate action by OpenAI will qualify. Note: This market only refers to the native image generation feature introduced with GPT-4o on March 25, 2025. The availability of external integrations such as DALL·E will not be considered. The primary resolution source for this market is ChatGPT and official information from OpenAI; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
