No, it's worse than DALL-E 3, it's an on-device model that can only reproduce placid soulless images. The ones I put in the article have been heavily cherry-picked. The worst ones get far worse. DALL-E 3 can at least do text.

Oh, I assumed the image gen at least was running on the fancy remote GPU server.

But it being on-device doesn't prove it's not a DALL-E 3. Just like GPT-3 & GPT-4 & Llamas come in many sizes, some of which are (probably) feasible to run on-device...

Still, I suppose that probably does imply that it's some Apple half-hearted image-gen model (trained on a lot of DALL-E 3 contaminated data?), since I'm not sure OA would want to risk leaking even years from now a tiny, terrible, hyper-optimized-for-size DALL-E 3's weights.

If you have a compatible Apple device, generate a few dozen images with Image Playground. The device heats up a lot. It's assuredly on-device.
