The initial announcement of the store's launch raised questions, particularly regarding the company's plan for charging customers and paying developers. The delay is not surprising given the loose launch plan and the recent leadership turmoil. Until the store formally launches, GPTs can still be made and shared directly, but they will not be publicly listed or participate in any potential revenue-sharing scheme.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI's GPT Store, an app store for AI, will not be launched this year as previously announced, but is now expected to launch in early 2024.
- The delay is likely due to a leadership shakeup that occurred in November, shortly after the initial announcement of the store's launch.
- Despite the delay, GPTs can still be made and shared directly with others, but they will not be publicly listed or part of any revenue-sharing scheme until the store officially launches.
- The launch plan for the store was vague, with many unanswered questions regarding charging customers and paying developers.
