OpenAI, the developer of the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, has opened the GPT Store, where anyone can create and share their own custom versions of "ChatGPT".

OpenAI, the developer of the popular artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, introduced the GPT Store in recent weeks. With the GPT Store, the company would allow anyone to create their own GPT model and share them on the platform. Now, OpenAI has officially launched the GPT Store. The company also launched a new ChatGPT subscription layer for smaller teams.

The GPT Store allows developers and users to share and monetise private versions of the viral chatbot. ChatGPT Team costs $25 to $30 per user per month, while offering data security and supporting longer queries.

GPT Store is now open

The GPT Store allows OpenAI to turn ChatGPT's glowing reputation in the tech world into a paid business model with a share of the revenue, much like Apple did with the App Store and Google did with the Play Store. Anyone can create and share GPT - no coding required - but creators must create a Builder Profile that shares their real name or directs users to a verified website. OpenAI has not yet announced its revenue programme but says details will be shared in Q1. Not surprisingly, the first GPT builders to get paid will be those in the US.

And then there is the ChatGPT Team. In OpenAI's definition, ChatGPT Team provides a secure, collaborative workspace to make the most of ChatGPT at work. Unlike ChatGPT Enterprise, which was released last year, the Team tier does not cost thousands of dollars. Instead, anyone who subscribes to ChatGPT Plus or Enterprise can join Team for $30 per month (when billed monthly) or $25 (annually).

ChatGPT Team offers access to GPT-4 with a larger (32,000 coins) context window for longer queries. In addition, subscribers get higher message limits. OpenAI also says it will not train its models on the data or conversations of ChatGPT Team subscribers.
