OpenAI has rolled out its store for custom GPTs and a new ChatGPT subscription tier for smaller teams. The GPT Store allows developers and users to share and profit from their custom versions of the viral chatbot. Meanwhile, ChatGPT Team costs $25 to $30 monthly per user while offering data security and supporting longer queries.

GPT Store

The GPT Store allows OpenAI to turn ChatGPT’s white-hot prominence in the tech world into a tollkeeper’s business model, taking a cut of revenue like in Apple’s App Store. Anyone can build and share GPTs — you don’t need coding experience — but creators must make a Builder Profile that shares their real name or points users to a verified website.

OpenAI says a revenue program for GPT creators is coming soon in Q1. “As a first step, US builders will be paid based on user engagement with their GPTs,” the company wrote, promising to provide more info as the program’s launch approaches. For now, GPT creators will have to settle for riding the hype train and hoping the terms are attractive.

ChatGPT Team

As OpenAI describes it, ChatGPT Team provides “a secure, collaborative workspace to get the most out of ChatGPT at work.” Unlike ChatGPT Enterprise, which was launched in August, the Team tier doesn’t require thousands of dollars or calls with the company’s sales team. Instead, anyone subscribed to ChatGPT Plus or Enterprise can join for $30 (when billed monthly) or $25 (annually) per month.

ChatGPT Team offers access to GPT-4 with a larger (32,000-token) context window for longer queries. In addition, subscribers get higher message caps, and (like with the Enterprise tier) OpenAI says it won’t train its models on ChatGPT Team subscribers’ data or conversations.

The Team tier also provides a “secure workspace,” including an admin console to manage seats. Team members on the plan can also create and share custom GPTs internally. Finally, OpenAI teases that ChatGPT Team subscribers will receive “early access to new features and improvements.”

LG Display came to CES 2024 with something to prove. Its showroom in Las Vegas had transparent OLEDs, a 480Hz gaming monitor and the company’s most advanced OLED panels yet, featuring its META technology 2.0. While it sounds like promotional fluff (and there is some of that), LG Display is trying to address arguably OLED’s biggest weakness in the face of ever-improving LEDs, MicroLEDs and the rest. Using advanced microlens arrays (now called MLA+) and new algorithms, LG Display says it’s made an OLED 42 percent brighter than the displays that came before it.

At CES 2024, I took a closer look at the prototype panels, headed to TVs later this year.

Rabbit R1 is a very different AI-powered virtual assistant

It’s co-designed by Teenage Engineering.

A new startup called Rabbit seems to think our virtual assistants are less-than-ideal implementations of AI – and they’re not wrong. The dream of Rabbit is you leave your apps behind for conversation and, rather than a distracting device shoving icons in your face, you interact with what amounts to a walkie-talkie for an AI.

The stylish hardware (thanks, TE) is reminiscent of the Playdate handheld-with-a-crank, with an analog scroll wheel and a “360-degree rotational eye,” but the coolest feature — not that we’ve seen it working in real life yet — is its ability to use interfaces rather than APIs or apps. You can train it to use Photoshop to perform simple editing tasks and, apparently, even play Diablo for you. You can then make it repeat those tasks just whenever.

The Rabbit R1 costs $199 and is available for pre-order, with an expected ship date before the end of April.

OpenAI admits it’s impossible to train generative AI without copyrighted materials

The company has also published a response to a lawsuit filed by The New York Times.

OpenAI and its biggest backer, Microsoft, are facing several lawsuits accusing them of using other people’s copyrighted works without permission to train the former’s large language models (LLMs). OpenAI wrote in its evidence to the UK’s House of Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee that it would be “impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials.”

In some lawsuits, the plaintiffs accuse the companies of refusing to pay authors for their work while building a billion-dollar industry and enjoying enormous financial gain from copyrighted materials.

Sony shared its upcoming PlayStation Plus free games for January on Wednesday. Headlining this month’s batch are Capcom’s 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake and the Borderlands spinoff Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can claim the 14 new games on January 16.

The Resident Evil 2 remake (PS5 / PS4) is far from just a fresh coat of paint. Although the revamp retains the core gameplay elements from the 1998 original, it’s visually unrecognizable, now running on Capcom’s RE Engine. “It feels like a contemporary title,” Engadget’s Jessica Conditt wrote in a 2018 preview.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Next-Level Edition (PS5, PS4) takes one of Borderlands’ most memorable NPCs and drops you into a genre-blending fantasy world conjured from her macabre and erratic imagination. Expanding on the ideas from the Borderlands 2 DLC Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, Gearbox’s spinoff (and Dungeons & Dragons parody) includes magic, guns and chaotic instant revisions to the game world. It also has star-studded voice work from Andy Samberg, Wanda Sykes and Will Arnett.

Other claimable titles this month include salvaging sci-fi physics sim Hardspace: Shipbreaker (PS5), Lego’s rare non-IP installment Lego City Undercover (PS4), 2015 action-adventure title Just Cause 3, tactical stealth game Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (PS4), narrative RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong (PS5 / PS4) and post-apocalyptic strategy title Surviving the Aftermath (PS4).

This month’s redeemable classic (retro) titles include the Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection (PS4), which collects 12 classic games in the fighting series, including the original installment and the trendsetting Street Fighter II. Secret of Mana (PS4), Legend of Mana (PS4), Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace (PS5 / PS4) and Rally Cross (PS5 / PS4) will also be available for subscribers starting on on January 16.
