Reve's image generator — briefly the top-ranked text-to-image model on launch in March 2025 — shut off at noon Pacific on September 27, the price of an investment from OpenAI, which also took its AI research team to lead multimodal work. The API went dark on August 14 and sign-ups stopped September 17; users have until October 31 to export, and September fees are refunded. The company survives; the product does not.
