Given that their main goal is still AGI, how does offering better developer tools and nifty custom models that can look at your dog for you help? Is it just bolstering revenue? They said they don't use API input to train their models so it isn't making them constantly smarter via more people using them.

AGI will be a system of different agents working together, not one mega-model.

Probably have more devs than they know what to do with at this point, so might as well spread them over the existing offerings while having the core work on AGI.

They're in the AGI business the same way Tesla is in the self driving car business

  That just isn't true according to literally any evidence. People inside OpenAI, those who've gotten access for various reasons e.g. journalists, Microsoft, other investors, their pattern of behaviour, their corporate governance structure, their hiring practices and requirements, etc. They are true believers, at least the vast majority of them.

AGI is what they’ll use to motivate investment in their company. A never reaching goal that promises to deliver growth at some point in the next two decades. That will provide funding to make existing models useful to more than just an over enthusiastic market. If they fail no problem, they “never really meant to make chatgpt work because their goal has always been agi”.

They stumbled into a position where they can make a crap ton of money going up the stack, which can fund the ongoing march toward AGI. (The revenue not only is cash in their pocket, but it’s also driving up their evaluation for future investment.)

The limiting factor at OpenAI is their internal human developer talent These tools will help them train and discover the next Ilya Sutskever

They probably want to train on GPT Builder + store rankings to be able to train an AI to effectively spin up new agentic AIs in response to whatever task it has in front of it. If you're familiar with the Global Workspace Theory of consciousness I think they're aiming for something similar to that, implemented in modern AI systems. They'd like data on what creating a new agent looks like, what using it looks like, and how effective different agents are. They'll get that data from people using GPT Builder, people using "GPTs" and their subsequent ratings/purchases, and the sales and ratings data from the GPT Store, respectively.
