ChatGPT Undergoes Major Upgrade: Introducing GPT Builder Option
-
OpenAI has announced a platform called GPT that allows anyone to create customized versions of ChatGPT without coding. This significant news was unveiled at OpenAI's DevDay developer conference.
OpenAI stated that they plan to offer these customized AI agents through the GPT Store in the coming weeks. While the appearance and operational details of the GPT Store remain unclear, OpenAI has promised to compensate creators based on the usage of their GPTs. This means creators will be able to earn rewards from their customized AI agents.
These customized GPTs will only be available to paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers and OpenAI's enterprise customers. The latter can create GPTs for internal use by their employees. This restricted access approach helps boost the company's revenue, as reports suggest OpenAI is seeking a valuation of up to $90 billion from investors.
At the DevDay conference, OpenAI also announced an enhanced and more affordable version of GPT-4, as well as reduced prices for developers using its models in applications. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has reached an impressive milestone of 100 million weekly users, showcasing its broad audience and successful adoption.
OpenAI's goal is to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and it views the GPT platform as a step toward achieving this. Competing with other AI bot platforms like Character.AI and Meta, OpenAI positions its platform as more practical, not necessarily requiring bots to behave like humans—though it doesn't rule out the creation of GPTs with human-like traits.
Most importantly, the creators of GPT will not be able to view the chat content of the people they interact with, but OpenAI stated that it will monitor activities to prevent fraud, hate speech, and 'adult content.' When the GPT Store launches in the future, OpenAI will only accept agents from verified users. Initially, GPT will be accessible via shareable web links to ensure security and compliance.
In summary, the latest developments in OpenAI's GPT platform indicate they are taking a significant step forward, providing more opportunities for the creation of customized AI agents while continuing to compete and expand their market share. This is a crucial milestone in achieving the goal of artificial general intelligence.
