OpenAI Announces Launch Timeline for Custom GPT Store
-
OpenAI recently announced that the release of the customized GPT Store (GPT商店) has been postponed to early 2024.
According to Reuters citing internal memos, OpenAI decided to delay the launch of the customized GPT Store, which was originally scheduled for November at the first developer conference. The company is currently focused on continuously improving GPT based on user feedback. This delay occurred amidst the sudden dismissal of CEO Sam Altman, followed by his reinstatement after employees threatened to strike.
GPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is an early AI assistant capable of performing various practical tasks, such as booking flights on behalf of users. OpenAI plans to enable users to customize their own GPTs through the GPT Store and potentially generate revenue based on user engagement.
OpenAI did not specify the exact reasons for the delay but emphasized the company's continuous efforts to improve GPT's performance and functionality through technical upgrades and user feedback. This move also reveals some internal turbulence, particularly against the backdrop of CEO transitions and employee strike threats.
OpenAI hopes that by delaying the store's launch, the company will have more time to refine GPT's features, ensuring users receive a high-quality customized experience. This aligns with the company's longstanding commitment to not only provide cutting-edge AI technology but also ensure user experience meets high standards.
With the CEO returning to the position, OpenAI will continue to advance AI technology development and looks forward to successfully launching the custom GPT store in early 2024.
