The artificial intelligence company behind GPT-4, the world’s most powerful language model, is opening up its technology to a wider audience. OpenAI is launching the GPT Store, a platform where users can browse, create, and share custom GPT models for various applications.

The GPT Store aims to democratize access to natural language generation and foster a community of GPT enthusiasts and developers.

What is a GPT model?

A GPT model is a type of neural network that can generate natural language text based on a given input. GPT models can learn from large amounts of text data and produce coherent and diverse outputs. GPT models can be used for a variety of tasks, such as writing, summarizing, translating, answering questions, and generating images.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 is the latest and most advanced version of the GPT family. It has 175 billion parameters, making it 10 times larger than its predecessor, GPT-3. GPT-4 can also generate images from text descriptions, thanks to its integration with Vision and DALL-E 3, two other OpenAI projects that use deep learning to create and manipulate visual content.

How to find and access the GPT Store

The GPT Store is now available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, as well as those on ChatGPT Enterprise and the new ChatGPT Teams plans. ChatGPT is OpenAI’s online platform that allows users to interact with GPT models through a chat interface. ChatGPT Plus is a premium subscription that gives users access to GPT-4 and other advanced features.

To visit the GPT Store, users can go to chat.openai.com/gpts from their desktop browser. There, they can browse and install GPT models created by OpenAI’s partner developers and other users.

They can also create their own GPT models without coding, by using a simple interface that lets them specify the input and output formats, the data sources, and the desired behavior of their model. Users can then share their GPT models with the public or keep them private for their own use.

For ChatGPT Team users, they will be able to manage and distribute their own internal-use GPT models through a private portal. Team and Enterprise account administrators will have further controls over how internal-use GPT models are shared and which external GPT models can be installed.

Can you earn revenue from your GPT model?

Starting later this quarter, GPT developers in the US will be able to join a revenue-earning program. Payments will be based on certain user interactions with their GPT models, the details of which will be disclosed closer to the program’s launch. The program is designed to incentivize the creation of high-quality and useful GPT models, as well as to reward the developers for their efforts and creativity.

OpenAI hopes that the revenue-earning program will attract more developers to join the GPT Store and contribute to the growth and diversity of the GPT ecosystem. The company also plans to expand the program to other regions in the future, subject to local laws and regulations.

What is the ChatGPT Team plan?

To complement its existing ChatGPT Enterprise plan, OpenAI also took the opportunity to announce a ChatGPT Team plan, catering to smaller businesses and even groups of indie devs. Much like ChatGPT Plus, teams will have access to GPT-4 with Vision and DALL-E 3 models, but with a larger allotment of requests and interactions. As mentioned, they will also be able to create and share private GPT models among the group and have an administrator to control usage and distribution.

The ChatGPT Team plan is ideal for those who want to experiment with GPT models for their own projects or collaborate with others on GPT-related endeavors. The plan also offers a lower entry point for those who want to access the GPT Store and the revenue-earning program.

Pricing starts at $300 per user per year with a minimum of two users in a team. Monthly billing is available at $30 per user. Users can sign up for the ChatGPT Team plan on chat.openai.com/teams.
