*Jedi wave* These are the GPTs you’re looking for
The AI race is already in full swing and has been for some time, with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and more all vying for some sweet market share. Now, OpenAI is looking to place itself firmly ahead with a new kind of app store.
The company launched its GPT store yesterday, a platform where users can upload their own custom-trained ChatGPT bots, called GPTs, or search and download others based on specific use cases like writing, cooking, productivity, etc.
The GPT store was initially slated to release around November, but the Sam Altman - OpenAI board drama put a brief halt to it whilst the company worked to get back on track.
According to the company announcement, the GPT store already boasts a whopping 3 million GPTs ready to download, with some built by companies like AllTrails, Canva, and Khan Academy.
What’s a GPT? Back in November, OpenAI launched GPT Builder, a platform to make it easier for creators from all walks of life (including non-developers) to create their own ChatGPT models trained on specific niches. Similar to how makers have been launching wrappers for some time now.
What’s still a bit fuzzy is the payment details. Back in the initial announcement, a lot of buzz was made about OpenAI paying creators for their GPTs. No word yet on how that will work, but the company has stated they are working on it, with an expected announcement in Q1.
