OpenAI to Launch GPT Store Next Week, Revenue Share Still Unresolved
OpenAI has announced via email to GPT creators that its GPT Store will launch next week, a dedicated portal for discovering custom GPTs built for ChatGPT Plus subscribers. The store will feature a homepage, categories, and search functionality, similar to an app store. Creators must verify their identity and explicitly agree to public listing. However, OpenAI has not yet announced a revenue share model for developers, despite earlier promises by CEO Sam Altman. The launch was originally slated for November 2023 but was postponed to early 2024 following the leadership upheaval. With Microsoft offering free GPT-4 and Dall-E 3 access via Copilot, the GPT Store is expected to be a key differentiator for ChatGPT Plus subscription.
OpenAI, a major AI platform, is launching its GPT Store, which significantly expands the ecosystem of AI applications and could influence how AI tools are distributed and monetized, relevant to AdTech's growing AI integration.
