GPT Store Launch

Re: GPT Store Launch
#32My bet was they would delay it. Well excited to see what people will build but also a little worried. Users have developed a lot of trust towards ChatGPT some are using it as a therapist, uploading a lot of secret info etc. Now with custom gpts anyone can piggyback on that trust and just upload all that data to their servers.
Why would you make that prediction when they just sent an email that says it's launching next week?
Re: GPT Store Launch
#33The GPT Store is poised to be the biggest platform since the iOS App Store. Reason: The GPT-4 API is too expensive for most use cases. This encourages app developers to build custom GPTs, letting their users pay $20/month for a ChatGPT Plus subscription. To provide the same service in a standalone webapp using the GPT-4 API you'd have to charge ~$50/mo for your app only, and that's if you settle for ~50-75% margins (…
Developer driven pricing is the only reason the AppStore is as large as it is. Without a developer charging the full value for their services, i.e. a proposed 'revenue share,' the GPT Store will always be a zero sum for the participants to the subscription price at the limit.

A platform play like this assumes a captive market that is using the platform and who faces significant pain to leave. iPhone, Android and Windows had this. OpenAI does not because other APIs and open source models are hot on their heels.
For many dev needs, an open source model can be used far cheaper, without vendor lockin, with more flexibility, free of censorship, and with lower latency.
To make this play and sustain it, OpenAI has to continue to have a model that is significantly better than open source models in particular- I’d say perhaps as much as one order of magnitude.
They are vulnerable. If Meta, for example, releases another Llama that is close to the current GPT state of the art, it may be a silver bullet.
My world view is tainted. I’m profoundly opposed to AI via API, and I think supporting open source models is so important that it has the potential to affect the future of our species, given how important the AI revolution will be this century.
Re: GPT Store Launch
#35Is this a directory of people that have built something using OpenAI's API's? What exactly is being sold here if this is a store? Sorry, I haven't been doing much in the AI space other than an occasional Ask GPT question once in a while.
This should answer your question: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts We’re rolling out custom versions of ChatGPT that you can create for a specific purpose—called GPTs. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others. Starting today, you can create GPTs and share them pu…
What's a version of a ChatGPT? A custom model? With custom pretraining, or just custom fine-tuning? Or just a custom prompt, lol.

OpenAI has promised to pay out a rev share to GPT devs. Undisclosed is what that rev share will amount to. But presumably OpenAI would love to tout a huge number of developers making a living from GPTs, as this will drive a flywheel encouraging more people and orgs to make GPTs, and make existing GPTs more ambitious.
Re: GPT Store Launch
#37It will be interesting to see if anyone has made any worthwhile custom GPTs. I've tried making custom GPTs and, to be frank, I found the functionality extremely basic and barely more effective than just copy/pasting a custom prompt.

> you’ll also be able to earn money based on how many people are using your GPT
So how does that work? Are they showing ads? (Narrator: its always ads) Is this the new ad-sense and search engine replacement? Its not SEO anymore, its custom GPTs.

Prediction: They will take the Video Streaming route and own the IP / studios / devs.

I'm made a few that I find _incredibly_ useful to me, personally.
The one with the most usage by people other than me (posted it on twitter) is https://chat.openai.com/g/g-MGIdYisxl-small-answer
It's called "Small Answer". It's exactly what it sounds like. It gives very short and concise answers, which means it's very fast. Very useful when there are load problems or you just want it to be short and to the point.
-----------------
I made another that is ridiculously niche, but has been useful to a few others. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-thBmRjljk-ffmpeg-build-script-cr...
"ffmpeg Build Script Creator" - it generates a build script for you to build a custom build of ffmpeg with only the features you need on the platform you need it on (to minimize binary size etc. probably for embedding in an application).
This is the kind of thing I'm looking more forward to on GPT store. Incredibly niche use cases that someone took the time to prompt / provide sample data / 3rd party information for it to work properly.
-----------------
The most useful by far to me is "The Full Imp". It does a much better job building full implementations of things you tell it to. I find it much higher quality than Grimoire and GPT-4.
