Initially conceived as a platform to enable users to generate income, the rollout of the GPT Store has been halted.

The GPT Store was first unveiled during OpenAI’s DevDay conference, with initial plans set for a December release. However, the company attributed the delay to “unexpected events” without delving into specific details. Speculations suggest that these unforeseen circumstances might be tied to recent upheavals within the technology sector, including the temporary removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI.

At present, developers can share their GPT models using direct links. Nevertheless, the anticipated store is anticipated to play a pivotal role, not only in facilitating widespread distribution of these models but also in providing developers with opportunities for monetization. OpenAI has expressed its commitment to sharing revenue generated from store subscriptions with noteworthy developers, aligning with its goal to foster a thriving community-driven ecosystem.
