So these "GPTs" are the combination of predefined prompts and custom API access? Not customly trained LLMs?

If so, I guess you can make such a "GPT" on your own server and independent from a specific LLM service by using a prompt like

    ...you have available an API "WEATHER_API". If you need the
    weather for a given city for a given day, please say
    WEATHER_API('berlin', '2022-11-24')
    and I will give you a new prompt including the data you
    asked for...
Or is there some magic done by OpenAI which goes beyond this?

OpenAI in a weird way has mediocre marketing. The examples they use for Dalle-3 are way worse than the average ones I see people cooking up on Twitter/Reddit. They only seem to demo the most vaguely generic implementations of their app. Even their DevDay logo is just 4 lines of text.

Just the fact that they decided to stay with what is essentially a highly technical acronym i.e. GPT, as their major product line says a lot.

And yet in a way I find this refreshing

I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time. Barrier to entry is nonexistent so I imagine highest revenue ones if this becomes a serious thing people use will be advertised externally or have some proprietary info/access.

I'm more confused how the revenue share works. Do they get part of my ChatGPT subscription fee? Am I paying extra? Per bot? Per amount of time I consult with the bot?

Probably a staged rollout once again leaving people outside of the US wait.

Nah, I'm in the US (with a US based account) and I'm still getting the message it's rolling out over the next few days (you have to open a sample to see that message).

So i guess the next wave of startups has been killed. I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?

Some use cases are still valid I hope. E.g. content generation on a massive scale. An example of that that I'm tinkering with: https://meoweler.com

I think that's actually crucial in that they want to trademark this otherwise generic term

To be fair, the name "ChatGPT" has quite a bit of mindshare and I've found many non-technical folks referring to any generative AI product as "ChatGPT" or "GPT". Yet, if you asked any single one of them what "GPT" stood for, they'd have no clue.

I think it might be the ubiquity of the term "GPT" as it relates to OpenAI from a public branding perspective.

If you want to be independent for academic/personal reasons, sure you can.

If you want reasoning capabilities that Open Source hasn't matched before today, and I'm guessing just got blown out of the water on again today... there's no reason to bother.
