Stupid question: why is there a separate image model? Shouldn't GPT-6.x be multimodal?
It's not a stupid question. It is multi-modal but it's about efficiency. A model that is trained purely on generating images is smaller and faster and has its own set of optimisation techniques, compared to a "generalist" multi modal LLM.
Same applies for speech models.
