On Wednesday, OpenAI launched two new products and services: GPT Store and ChatGPT Team. Previously, due to personnel turmoil, the company postponed the launch of this feature.

ChatGPT Team is a smaller version of OpenAI enterprise products, suitable for enterprises with less than 150 users, paying $25 per user per month per year or $30 per user per month. It includes a shared workspace and allows teams to build their own GPT.
The new usage level was launched after the launch of ChatGPT Enterprise, which underwent less than a year of development and was launched in August 2023, in collaboration with over 20 beta testing companies including Block. The enterprise plan includes unlimited GPT-4 access, performance twice as fast as previous versions, and API points.
According to foreign media reports, Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap stated in August 2023 that Enterprise pricing will not be publicly disclosed, "For us, this will depend on each company's use cases and scale."
As for the GPT Store, according to OpenAI, community members have built 3 million GPTs so far and have approved a series of them to be downloaded in the GPT Store. The store includes a community leaderboard of popular downloads, where users can search by category, such as writing, lifestyle, and education. According to OpenAI, the GPT builder revenue plan will be launched "soon" and fees will be paid to US GPT builders based on the user engagement of their tools.
"The real business that OpenAI is engaged in is selling intelligence - over time, intelligent agents and intelligent agents will become the real trend," CEO Sam Altman told reporters at OpenAI's first on-site event in November 2023.
As one of the most popular companies in the technology field, OpenAI's initiative highlights its efforts to rapidly develop its products in order to maintain a leading advantage in the artificial intelligence arms race over competitors such as Antitopic, Google, and Meta. According to OpenAI, as of November 2023, ChatGPT had approximately 100 million active users per week, with over 92% of Fortune 500 companies using the platform.
The ChatGPT Team and GPT Store are both new revenue drivers for OpenAI and have been brewing internally for some time. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in November last year that OpenAI's true business is selling intelligence. Over time, intelligent agents will become a true trend.
OpenAI originally planned to launch the GPT Store in December last year, but due to Altman's brief resignation and the farce of the board reshuffle, the overall development progress of the GPT Store was disrupted and temporarily put on hold.
Analysis shows that OpenAI's announcement highlights its efforts to rapidly develop its products in order to maintain a leading advantage in the artificial intelligence competition compared to competitors such as Antihop, Google, and Meta. If successful, the GPT Store will mark a new moment in making artificial intelligence technology more accessible, useful, and profitable.
