According to PANews, OpenAI has announced on its official website that it has fully replaced the plugin functionality with Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPTs). The GPT store now possesses the same comprehensive functionality as the plugins. It also includes a search feature, allowing users to look up the names or other details of the plugins they are using.
Users will be able to continue their existing plugin conversations until April 9, 2024. As of the following day, the testing phase for the ChatGPT plugin will come to an end. It's worth noting that since March 19, 2024, users have been unable to create new conversations with plugins.
