Did you know OpenAI Launches GPT Store Amidst Anticipation, but Revenue-Sharing for Third-Party Creators Delayed
The makers of ChatGPT have finally rolled out their GPT Store and it’s been a highly talked about initiative for quite some time now.
But
before you get too excited, we’d like to tell you that if you’re a
third-party creator for GPT then you’ll have to wait a tad bit more if
you wish to be financially compensated for customized GPT products. This
has to do with the fact that the revenue-sharing portion does not begin
rolling in anytime soon. Some expect that it will arise after the start
of the first quarter of 2024.
The news might be a little disappointing in terms of how many may have
had high hopes attached to it because a store that does not allow you to
make money from the start is clearly lacking right.
For those
who are still wondering what this store is all about and why the leading
AI firm developed one in the first place, please read on.
The
store first came into the public eye last year in November when tech
giant OpenAI shed light on the matter through the DevDay gathering which
was done in person.
All kinds of third-party stakeholders were
invited who were known for creating a leading number of products and
services, alongside the organization’s own famous AI models and APIs
like GPT 3.5 as well as GPT 4.
Ever since that day, the hype surrounding this endeavor has been going
down well and so many experts in the industry also mentioned how it
could actually be a grand affair, as big as that seen with iPhone maker
Apple’s launch that arose years ago. That again was massive and for all
of Apple’s products but it did get backlash when the Cupertino firm
spoke about taking a massive 15 to 30% share of profits in the name of
commission.
Currently, we’re hearing more about how this GPT
Store is designed in a more limited manner than what was seen in the
past. The organization’s revenue-sharing initiative currently remains to
be a hazy affair.
To fully comprehend what is going on with this
GPT Builder, another feature linked to the ChatGPT tool was announced
and it was given access right after the conference ended. Since then,
all subscribers for ChatGPT Plus have been busy with this offering.
Dubbed
GPT Builder, this is designed to enable the chatbot to type in
interfaces to create their own personal GPT. So in essence, this truly
is a feature that can be envisioned as a more customized variant of the
tool that aligns with the users' interests and only caters to a narrow
range of tasks.
For instance, you can analyze posts or prototype
products quickly. Similarly, you can produce GIFs instantly and work on
bettering engagement.
Now the question on many people’s minds is who would really want a more
customized variant of this offering? The answer might surprise you
because quite a few people do. So far, creators have already hit the 3
million customized GPT variant mark and there are more to come.
When
you create your own customized variants, you’re saying hello to a more
personalized experience. You can execute commands at the speed of light
and it’s amazing how so much can be done with less effort and in less
time.
This innovative idea linked to the GPT Builder seems to be
very enticing and also goes about playing to the great advantages that
most LLMs make use of. The best bit is, that no software is needed for
the sake of training, which has been under scrutiny from the likes of
the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store as the GPT Builder handles
this.
The least amount of raw resources required include good
online connectivity, ChatGPT Plus or an Enterprise Subscription, and of
course your keyboard too. The rest would be handled by the GPT Builder.
Now those still wondering why the GPT store exists can understand how before this was invented, we saw individuals make use of GPT designed by other users. Only if creators shared links through direct means or posted those online, users could use the GPT produced by some other individual. So in essence, no centralized location was present to explore GPTs arising from third parties which was a drawback.
