OpenAI is delaying the launch of an online store for people to interact with an array of chatbots customized by its users, citing the interruption caused by the ousting and reinstatement of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman.

OpenAI shared the news in an email Thursday to people who have been building GPTs, its term for the customizable versions of its popular ChatGPT chatbot. The company said it plans to roll out its GPT Store in early 2024, rather than in late 2023 as it had initially planned.
