OpenAI stopped its premium service due to demand for its services exceeding ChatGPT Plus's new registered CEO Sam Altman said.。Demand soared just days after the company hosted its first DevDay。This is the latest slowdown this week since the massive release of new features by OpenAI, following widespread service outages, DDoS attacks, and being temporarily blocked by Microsoft.。

Sam Altman tweeted: "We are temporarily suspending new ChatGPT Plus registrations.。"The surge in usage after the development day is beyond us and we want to make sure everyone has a good experience."。"

The first week of OpenAI came today with a developer conference aimed at instilling confidence in developers that OpenAI is a great platform.。Part of the sales pitch includes the release of GPT, which customizable chatbot developers can build on an accessible consumer interface。But those GPTs are currently only aimed at premium users, and Altman said the audience has been limited since Tuesday.。With the launch of the GPT store, GPT will be widely released by the end of November, but given the chaotic week of OpenAI, the timing appears uncertain.。

OpenAI declined to comment on whether the launch of the GPT store was affected。

The company's developer interface OpenAI API experienced a partial outage on Wednesday once a Sunday morning and once a Wednesday afternoon.。At least five outages in a week since development day。This is more disruption than its API has experienced in the past 90 days。Altman said this is due to increased usage, but we understand that OpenAI's servers were attacked in a coordinated manner last week, and the increase in interest is not all。
