OpenAI Update on Monetizing GPT Store & Revenue Sharing

[Michelangelo]

OpenAI released a statement on their FAQ updating. They basically said "We still don't know". Which is a bummer. Would love to get clarity on the biggest player in this emerging GPT economy. Here is their statement:

We are partnering with a small group of builders to test GPT earnings based on usage. Our goal is to foster a vibrant ecosystem where builders are rewarded for their creativity and impact, and users have a wide range of highly useful GPTs.
How can I be selected?
Selection is currently limited to a select group of US-based builders who have created popular and engaging GPTs in the GPT Store. We are not currently accepting additional builders.
How does it work?
Builders will receive earnings based on usage of their GPT. Our goal is to partner with builders to develop and fine-tune our strategy for GPT monetization, recognizing and rewarding builders whose creativity and commitment have enriched the ecosystem. Additional details will be provided at the program’s completion.
When will monetization be generally available?
We hope to allow more builders to monetize their GPTs down the line, and will provide more information when we can.

It's interesting to see them refuse to commit on clear monetizing for GPT store. Makes me suspect they won't actually support a good monetization system. Meanwhile there are a few companies building direct monetization for GPTs and storefronts.
