2023-12-01
Avast ye scallywags! Sam Altman be returnin' as the cap'n o' the ship, and there be whispers about alterations to the ChatGPT pipeline. Shiver me timbers, what be awaitin' us on this grand adventure?
OpenAI has announced a delay in the launch of its GPT Store, according to a memo obtained by Axios. The store was intended to allow users to post and purchase custom versions of the ChatGPT AI model. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had introduced the concept of "GPTs" during the company's Dev Day event earlier this month. These custom versions would be tailored to specific needs using custom data. However, the launch of the GPT Store has been put on hold until at least early 2024, as OpenAI cited unexpected issues keeping them busy. This delay comes amidst the recent upheaval at OpenAI, which saw Altman being dismissed and then reinstated as CEO. Altman, in a blog post, expressed his admiration for his team and extended an olive branch to former board member Ilya Sutskever. Notably, Altman made no mention of GPTs or the GPT Store in his post, instead focusing on AI safety as a top priority. Despite the delay, there is no indication that OpenAI is pausing its work on GPTs or its pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence. The delay is likely to be a matter of a few months, and given OpenAI's pace of development, it could potentially be reduced to weeks.Overall, OpenAI is continuing its AI business, despite the setbacks and delays.
