OpenAI changes monetization policies for developers using ChatGPT, paying based on GPT usage

OpenAI has announced changes to its GPT Store monetization policies in order to introduce a system of earnings based on the use of GPTs. This new format aims to create an ecosystem where developers are rewarded for their creativity and impact. The company had initially delayed the launch of its store but made it available earlier this year for users of its chatbot to share variations of the original GPT with the community.

The GPT Store showcases the most “useful and popular” versions of the chatbot, categorizing them based on different topics such as writing, research, and programming. The store is accessible to users of ChatGPT Plus, ChatGPT Enterprise, and ChatGPT Team, catering to different user needs and preferences.

OpenAI has partnered with a group of developers in the US to test a new monetization format that rewards creators based on the use of GPTs. The company aims to refine its monetization strategy with this partnership, recognizing and rewarding developers whose contributions have enriched the system. While additional developers cannot currently join these tests, OpenAI hopes to offer more creators the opportunity to monetize their GPTs in the future.

Overall, OpenAI is working towards fostering a vibrant ecosystem where creators are recognized for their impact and users have access to a wide range of useful GPTs.
