Discrepancy of image generation results in browser and via API

API
1

I’m sending the same prompt via “chatGPT[.]com” and API “api[.]openai[.]com”
The prompt can be both simple, and very detailed (I tried different).
When I send prompts “from browser”, I get excellent results. When I send the same prompts “via API”, it’s absolutely unbearable quality like “four fingers” or “plastic surgery mistakes” :frowning: (which never happens “from browser”).
Yes, I tried many options…

Are you sending to DALLE3 model? Using “vivid” or “natural” style?

Can you share some code you’re using?
