OpenAI retires custom GPTs on Dec 11, chats to become standard

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI is retiring its custom GPTs on December 11th, a decision that will impact how users interact with specialized AI assistants. While the GPTs themselves will cease to function, conversations had with them will reportedly transition into standard ChatGPT chats. Users will retain access to the chat history, but the custom instructions, knowledge files, and specific functionalities of the retired GPTs will be lost unless manually migrated by creators. This change prompts users to back up their custom GPT instructions and files before the deadline to preserve their work and specialized AI interactions. AI

IMPACT Users will lose access to custom GPT functionalities and data unless migrated, impacting specialized AI workflows.
