OpenAI's recent moves, including the launch of the GPT Store and its first "Dev Day", have led to comparisons with Apple. OpenAI's leader, Sam Altman, has also been likened to Steve Jobs, especially after a boardroom saga that saw him briefly ousted from the company. Altman is reportedly considering creating a consumer AI device, potentially in collaboration with Apple's former design chief Jony Ive, furthering the parallels with Apple.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI has launched its GPT Store, a marketplace for AI apps built with OpenAI's technology, similar to Apple's App Store.
- The store is only accessible to premium ChatGPT users, who pay a monthly $20 fee, and to teams and enterprises paying a fee.
- OpenAI plans to launch a revenue program by the end of March, where US builders will be paid based on user engagement with their GPTs.
- OpenAI's leader, Sam Altman, is reportedly considering creating a consumer AI device, potentially in collaboration with Apple's design chief Jony Ive.
