OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has pushed back the release of its custom GPT store until early 2024, as detailed in an internal memo obtained by Reuters on Friday.

his delay coincides with the backdrop of significant internal changes, notably the unexpected removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman following staff threats to resign.
