Commenting on the launch, Kyle Bowen, deputy CIO at Arizona State University, said: “Incorporating OpenAI technology into our educational and operational framework accelerates the transformation at ASU. We are collaborating across our community to leverage these tools, expanding our expertise as a scalable model for other institutions.”
The GPT Store is now available to free users
According to a report by The Verge, custom GPT is now available to free ChatGPT users. But it is constrained to viewing only. This means that free ChatGPT users can access the GPT store, access and utilize available custom GPTs, but will not be able to create a fresh one. This is still only available for ChatGPT Plus and other premium membership plans.
Several features that were previously constrained to ChatGPT Plus users are also available to anyone using ChatGPT. This includes web models and responses, data analysis, graphing, vision, file transfers, storage, and custom GPTs.
