OpenAI plans to launch an AI software app store

San Francisco: OpenAI, the creator of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, is reportedly working on a marketplace that will enable developers to sell their AI models built on OpenAI's AI technology.

The Information, a news site, cited sources familiar with discussions at the company for this report.

The proposed marketplace by OpenAI would allow creators of such models to offer them to other businesses.

During a meeting with developers in London last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared the potential plans, as mentioned in the report.

If realized, this marketplace could potentially compete with existing app stores run by some of OpenAI's customers and technology partners, including Salesforce and Microsoft.

It would also serve as a means for OpenAI to expand its customer base and increase the reach of its AI technology.
