According to an internal memo, OpenAI has stated that the company is actively “making improvements” to GPTs based on valuable customer feedback.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI has delayed the launch of its custom GPT store until early 2024, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on Friday.
During its first developer conference in November, OpenAI introduced the custom GPTs and store, which were set to be launched later that month.
The company is continuing to “make improvements” to GPTs based on customer feedback, the memo said.
The delay comes against the backdrop of the startup’s surprise ouster of its CEO Sam Altman and his subsequent reinstatement following threats by employees to quit.
The GPTs are early versions of AI assistants that perform real-world tasks such as booking flights on behalf of a user. It is also expected to allow users to share their GPTs and earn money based on the number of users.
Last month, OpenAI announced it intends to work with organisations to produce public and private datasets for training artificial intelligence (AI) models.
OpenAI’s popular chatbot, ChatGPT, known for generating poems and prose from simple prompts, relies on large language models trained solely on open-source data from the Internet.
In an effort to enhance the quality of training data and foster more natural conversational abilities, OpenAI is actively seeking diverse datasets that express human intention, spanning various languages, topics, and formats. The company is reaching out to potential partners to collaborate on creating an open-source dataset for training language models, which would be accessible to the public for AI model training.
Additionally, OpenAI is working on private datasets for training proprietary AI models as part of its ongoing efforts to advance language understanding and generation capabilities.
