With Sam Altman’s return as CEO, OpenAI delays launch of custom GPT store to early 2024: Report

OpenAI has delayed the launch of its custom GPT store until early 2024, according to an internal memo. The store, which was initially unveiled at a developer conference in November, was originally set to launch later the same month. The delay is part of the company's commitment to refining the GPTs based on user feedback. The postponement also coincides with significant internal changes at OpenAI, including the temporary removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman.

The custom GPTs are early AI assistant models that can perform tasks like booking flights and are expected to allow users to share their GPTs and earn income based on user engagement. Amidst the internal changes, Microsoft has secured a nonvoting board seat at OpenAI, and Sam Altman has formally resumed his position as CEO following a period of boardroom turmoil.
