OpenAI Reportedly Delays Launch of Custom GPT Store until 2024
According to Axios, OpenAI has decided to delay the launch of its GPT Store until at least early 2024. This comes after the company’s recent shake-up, which saw CEO and Co-Founder Sam Altman dismissed and then reinstated. The decision to postpone the launch was reportedly due to unexpected developments that have kept the company busy.
Earlier this month, Altman had introduced the concept of “GPTs” at the first OpenAI Dev Day. These custom versions of the ChatGPT generative AI model would allow users to create bespoke versions tailored to their specific needs. The announcement also included plans to offer these custom GPTs for sale in an online GPT Store.
While this delay may seem like a setback, it comes on the heels of Altman’s return as CEO and his renewed focus on AI safety. In a recent blog post, Altman highlighted the company’s commitment to advancing research and investing in safety efforts as top priorities. He made no mention of the GPTs or the GPT Store in his post, signaling a shift in focus for the company.
Despite the delay, it is clear that OpenAI remains committed to its mission of advancing Artificial General Intelligence. The company’s resilience and rapid development pace suggest that the delay could be minimal, with the potential for a shorter timeline.
In the end, it seems that OpenAI is back to business as usual, with its sights set on the future of AI development.
