OpenAI launches dynamic plugin discovery in ChatGPT

OpenAI announced support for dynamic plugin discovery, where the model suggests a plugin when a user query matches its capabilities. A probe of 3,000 queries surfaced only 152 plugins, over 50% business-only, and models almost never search for plugins unless explicitly asked.

• Plugin search catalog holds 152 plugins across 3,000 queries
• Over 50% of plugins are business-only, 37% serve both
• Models rarely search for plugins without a direct prompt
• Explicit plugin questions trigger search over 90% of the time
