OpenAI’s Custom GPT store launch delays, may release in early 2024

OpenAI has postponed the launch of its dedicated GPT store until early 2024, as revealed in an internal memo obtained by Reuters on Friday. Originally introduced during OpenAI's inaugural developer conference in November, the custom GPTs and accompanying store were initially slated for release later that same month. The delay is attributed to ongoing efforts by the company to enhance GPTs based on valuable customer feedback.

Notably, this delay transpires amid recent organisational developments, including the unexpected removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman. This decision came in the wake of employee threats to resign. 

The GPTs, described as early iterations of AI assistants designed to execute real-world tasks like booking flights on behalf of users, are anticipated to include a feature enabling users to share their GPTs and potentially earn income based on user engagement.
