OpenAI announced during DevDay, its first-ever in-person developer conference, that it will allow the creation of customized AI applications called GPTs using its technology. The company, renowned for its AI chatbot ChatGPT, is also launching an app store for users to find and share these tools. With simple instructions and uploading resources like PDFs or videos, users can guide the bot to perform specific tasks — no programming skills required.
“GPTs are tailored versions of ChatGPT for a specific purpose. Eventually, you’ll have your personalized GPTs that can call out to lots of other GPTs. You’ll be able to accomplish very complex things by bringing different services together.”
OpenAI also introduced a new advanced language model called GPT-4 Turbo, capable of processing larger, more intricate prompts. The company continues to lead in AI innovation, employing its sophisticated AI model to understand patterns in large amounts of text. The system can generate responses to complex queries and create images via its Dall-E technology. According to OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, over 100 million people use ChatGPT each week.
However, as AI systems may not be entirely reliable for factual accuracy, companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Anthropic often position their AI as assistants requiring human oversight. Despite this, their capabilities, such as summarizing legal documents or creating illustrations, have raised concerns over potential job replacement by AI.
OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo can handle inputs of up to 300 pages, according to CNBC, meaning it can even summarize whole books. It also supports text-to-speech and AI-generated images, with six different voice options. The model is currently available to developers and will soon be open to all users.
OpenAI’s new special-purpose GPT technology could catalyze the next AI evolution. The focused tools could maximize AI usage, while customization based on user-specific needs could enhance AI effectiveness.
OpenAI is also launching the GPT Store for users to share and monetize their customized AI chatbots based on usage. “Once in the store, GPTs become searchable and may climb the leaderboards,” OpenAI said in a press release. The GPT Store could transform this broad computing foundation into a profitable business model. The company also noted that it plans to spotlight the most “useful and delightful GPTs” in categories like education, productivity, and “just for fun.”
“What OpenAI is really in the business of selling is intelligence — and that, and intelligent agents, is really where it will trend over time.”
In response to increasing legal action concerning generative AI, OpenAI, following the lead of Google, Microsoft, and Adobe, has pledged to defend its customers and cover any costs associated with copyright infringement claims.
