Plus, a White House adviser calls for the US and China to collaborate on AI safety.

Jan 31, 2024

OpenAI is continuing to push GPTs as a way to extend their ChatGPT product. And their latest announcement makes it that much easier to call GPTs in chat.

For paid users of ChatGPT, people can now invite GPTs to join a conversation by typing "@" and choosing a GPT from a dropdown list. The selected GPT will be aware of the whole conversation and can respond accordingly. Users can also switch between different GPTs for different purposes and needs, and the new GPTs will catch up with the previous context.

I’ve already shared how there are many interesting and weird GPTs already floating around the OpenAI store. And now it’s become a lot easier to use them.

Which GPTs are you playing around with?
