OpenAI's revolutionary masterpiece, GPT store launched this weekFollowing the end of Ultraman's annual palace fight, OpenAI finally put the long-postponed GPT store on the agenda.
Just recently, OpenAI suddenly released an email to all GPT developers, making it clear that a custom "GPT Store" store will be launched this week. This can be said to be the first blockbuster news in the AI field since the beginning of 2024, indicating that artificial intelligence applications are about to enter the era of explosion.
As a revolutionary masterpiece of AI ecology carefully created by OpenAI, unlike traditional applications, GPT stores do not require users to have any programming experience, as long as they use simple natural language to input the functions they want GPT to achieve, OpenAI's GPT construction tool GPT Builder will make an exclusive customized AI chatbot. Users can also easily customize the attributes and style of the AI bot through multiple rounds of fine-tuning, and share them with others.
According to Ultraman's introduction, in the GPT store, GPTS has different categories and rankings, which will list the GPTS with the highest number of installs and the highest rating, which is equivalent to an AI App Store. The most important thing is that creators don't need any threshold and experience.
In addition to this, OpenAI also plans to launch GPT-5 in 2024. GPT-5 will have more powerful speech,** and reasoning capabilities than GPT-4, and the rate limit will be increased. At the same time, OpenAI will also develop a better GPT model and further control the degree of its arousal behavior to provide personalized services, optimize browsing functions and open source related technologies.
Data shows that OpenAI has achieved great success with the ChatGPT chatbot platform in less than 9 years. In 2023, ARR's annual revenue will reach $1.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 56 times, and the company's valuation will be as high as $100 billion. Therefore, with the launch of the GPT store and GPT-5 this year, OpenAI is likely to become the most powerful "dark horse" in the tech industry.
The "App Store moment" of the big model is coming, but it is not easy to get the GPT store to land smoothly. There's an even bigger obstacle ahead of OpenAI, the New York Times.
Some time ago, the New York Times sued Microsoft and OpenAI in the Southern District Court of New York, accusing them of using a large number of copyrighted articles to train artificial intelligence models without permission, develop products that compete with the New York Times, and make huge profits. The New York Times' demands are to cease the infringements, restore the status quo ante, and compensate for the damages.
In other words, if OpenAI can't reach a partnership agreement with The New York Times and more news content publishers, it will not only face huge compensation, but also face a major content loss due to data training, which will cause significant obstacles to several businesses, including the upcoming "GPT store". After all, OpenAI wants to do its best to meet this "App Store moment", and it is precisely the need to find more content to train AI models.
According to GPTS Hunter**, there are currently 91,100 GPTs popping up on the public web, covering a wide range of areas, from development tools, productivity, graphics, language learning, to finance, customer support, market analysis, and healthcare. These GPTS rankings are mainly based on the crawled traffic data, which gives a glimpse of how popular users are about various apps.
Take GPTS Hunter as an example, OpenAI's official literary generation map master Dalle is still one of the most popular options. Other popular GPTS include PDF file analysis assistants, authoring tools, startup question answering systems, as well as design platforms such as Canva and writing aids. It's clear that the top-ranked GPTS are primarily focused on utilities, focusing on solving problems in a specific area, or improving the user's skill level in a certain area.
It is worth mentioning that OpenAI clearly states that developers who build GPT applications must carefully review the company's usage policy and GPT brand guidelines to ensure that their GPT meets the relevant requirements before making it public. In addition, they are required to verify user profiles and ensure that their GPT publications are "public", a requirement designed to ensure the quality and compliance of GPT applications.
You must know that before this, users could only do GPT non-governmental exchanges and sharing, impacting various wild rankings. And now you can finally go to the official market to compete, and there is even a chance to make money.
GPT Store: The First Pot of AI Gold for Ordinary PeopleAccording to Ultraman, once you enter the store, the GPT created by the user can be searched and may be on the leaderboard. In the coming months, it will be possible to make money based on how many people are using GPT. In other words, GPT stores bring ordinary people closer to earning their first pot of gold in generative AI.
On January 3, DingTalk and IDC, an internationally renowned consulting organization, released the first "Top Ten Trends in the Application Layer of AIGC in 2024", hereinafter referred to as "**IDC**By 2024, more than 500 million new applications will emerge around the world, which is equivalent to the total number of applications that have appeared in the past 40 years.
According to the Top 10 Trend Keywords of AIGC Applications in 2024, they cover application-layer innovation, AI agent, proprietary model, super entrance, multimodality, AI native application, AI tooling, and AI inclusiveness.
Fu Sheng, chairman and CEO of Cheetah Mobile and founder of Orion Star, also recently said that 2024 will be the year of the wave of AI large model applications. It can be seen that the industry generally believes that 2024 will witness significant development in the productization, industrialization and commercialization of AI technology.
And OpenAI's choice to launch a GPT store at this moment is undoubtedly a game-changing move for AI creators, offering unlimited revenue potential. Also using this model to make money is the Apple Store, and it has already generated huge revenues for the company. According to Altman, OpenAI will also extract a part of its own revenue to pay for the most commonly used and useful GPT developers.
It's unclear whether OpenAI will implement a revenue share policy similar to Apple's or Google's, but Altman has said in an interview that it expects significant developments in this strategy, starting with direct revenue sharing and then possibly considering a subscription to personal GPT.
In addition, the identity of a "certified developer" has not been clearly stated. Presumably, this was only set up to prevent low-quality and copycat GPTs from making their way into the app store. At the previous developer conference, OpenAI had already demonstrated CodeGPT developed by Org, TripAdvisor, and Canva indicates that the first app to enter the GPT store should be the official app.
However, OpenAI's decision to establish itself as independent of existing app stores and publishing platforms could come into direct conflict with industry giants such as Apple, or even major shareholder Microsoft, resulting in the lack of revenue sharing for all parties. In this regard, OpenAI may have to tread carefully.
Will you be the first to board the upcoming GPT store?
