AI'm Informed

Costs for using OpenAI’s APIs have dropped significantly, and with new capabilities like vision, assistants, or reproducible outputs, this is the best time ever to build a product on top of OpenAI (just make sure it’s something they won’t build themselves).

• Not even 24 hours after the announcement of OpenAI’s customizable GPTs, there was already an open-source alternative that lets you choose from 60+ different LLMs to build your own chatbot agent. - GitHub

• Wait, but are GPTs actually agents? Not quite, as prof Ethan Mollick explains. One of the most exciting aspects is that you’ll be able to earn money if your GPT becomes popular in the OpenAI store, this is a good introduction if you’d like to do that. - One Useful Thing

• One way to give your GPT more agency is to use AI Actions from Zapier – once you get the option to create a GPT (it’s gradually rolling out right now), you’ll be able to empower it with your own combination of the 30,000+ cross-app actions from Zapier. - Zapier

• AI startups have changed the dynamics of startup funding – partnerships like OpenAI + Microsoft are a symbiosis where OpenAI receives capital and spends it back on Microsoft’s cloud resources, but this gives Big Tech a lot of influence on the future of AI. - WSJ
