Great write-up! One of the most overlooked benefits I get from GPTs is the ability to host a chat-like app, with code execution and language understanding capabilities, and then share it with non-tech savvy folks through an interface they are already familiar with.

In the past, I had to guide my mother through the process of installing and executing Python scripts on her local machine. Now I can just share a GPT.

Is this for paid subscribers of ChatGPT? Very exhaustive and excellent tutorial but unfortunately I use a free version.

Is there an official spec about the amount of data you can upload. I have read in some forums the limit is 10 files but it doesn't make sense. Can I upload 10 files that weight 10GB each? Congrats and thanks for the detailed explanation!

Thanks for your valued feedback! Happy to learn you like it. Regarding your question, the data upload limit for the Custom GPT Builder is not officially specified in terms of the number of files. However, there are some constraints that have been mentioned in various sources:

1. According to a post on the OpenAI Developer Forum, there seems to be a limit to the number of files that can be uploaded, with some users reporting a limit of 10 files: https://community.openai.com/t/gpts-knowledge-capacity-limits/492955.

2. Another user reported that the system stopped saving after 10 files and also encountered issues when trying to merge more data into one file.

3. In the documentation for Assistants, it is stated that you can attach a maximum of 20 files per Assistant, and they can be at most 512 MB each: "You can attach a maximum of 20 files per Assistant, and they can be at most 512 MB each. In addition, the size of all the files uploaded by your organization should not exceed 100GB. You can request an increase in this storage limit using our help center." https://community.openai.com/t/gpts-knowledge-capacity-limits/492955

But personally, I wouldn't do that. If your dataset is not clean, concise and well-crafted, there's a chance you can get a messy output. So, I work carefully on my JSON file. I started with 20 examples, but now I'm adding 100 examples. This should be enough.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to craft this amazing response 😁

Well done! One wonders in a head to head comparison between a custom gpt vs a set of sequential instructions in standard mode if the result of the former would be substantially better.
