OpenAI's DevDay 2025: Unveiling the Future of AI Development

What to expect at OpenAI's DevDay 2025, and how to watch it | TechCrunch

OpenAI is gearing up to host its third annual developer conference, DevDay 2025, on Monday. The company says more than 1,500 people are scheduled to convene at Fort Mason in San Francisco for OpenAI's "biggest event yet," which features announcements, keynotes from OpenAI executives, and a fireside chat between CEO Sam Altman and longtime Apple designer Jony Ive. From the sound of it, DevDay 2025 is shaping up to be a grand display of OpenAI's rising dominance in Silicon Valley against giants like Apple, Google, and Meta. OpenAI is currently building an AI device, a social media app, and an AI-powered browser to take on Chrome. In other words, OpenAI has a lot more going on than it did during its first DevDay in 2023, when it mostly just had ChatGPT and an API business for developers to access its models. At the same time, OpenAI faces more competition than ever in the bid to win over developers. In the last year, Anthropic's and Google's AI models have become increasingly capable for coding tasks and web design. OpenAI has been forced to release better AI models at lower prices to remain in the race. In the background, Meta has built up an impressive roster of AI talent in its new group, Meta Superintelligence Labs, which could become another threat to OpenAI in the near future. OpenAI unveiled at its first DevDay in 2023 a new AI model, GPT-4 Turbo, and Altman shared his vision for a marketplace of AI agents called the GPT Store. Altman was ousted as CEO days later -- only to return after a dramatic weekend of negotiations. In 2024, OpenAI responded with a more subdued conference, announcing some meaningful developer upgrades, such as an API for AI voice applications, but not much else. Nothing is confirmed to launch at DevDay 2025, stoking plenty of rumors. Perhaps OpenAI will finally unveil the AI-powered browser it's been working on, or maybe give an update on the AI device it's building with Ive and former Apple executives. It's also possible there could be some updates related to the GPT Store, or a new offering that lets developers build agentic workflows. TechCrunch will be on the ground in San Francisco covering the event live, so you can check back here for all the news. Here's what you need to know about OpenAI's DevDay, and how to watch it. DevDay 2025 kicks off at 10 a.m. PT October 6 with an opening keynote from Altman, in which he's scheduled to unveil "announcements, live demos, and a vision of how developers are reshaping the future with AI." The keynote will last roughly one hour and will be livestreamed on OpenAI's YouTube page. That's the only event that will be livestreamed for remote attendees. For in-person attendees, there will be onstage presentations and talks from Cursor CEO Michael Truell, San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie, and Andreessen Horowitz investing partner Kimberly Tan, among others. Several OpenAI employees will also give speeches about their work, including model behavior researcher Laurentia Romaniuk and Codex lead Alexander Embiricos. There's also supposed to be a series of AI-powered sideshows at DevDay 2025. One of them is "Sora Cinema," which is described as a "cozy mini-theater with popcorn" featuring short films generated by OpenAI's video model, Sora. There's also supposed to be a phone booth with a "living portrait" of the famed computer scientist Alan Turing "that speaks back." Later in the afternoon, there will be two big events to cap off DevDay. These last two events won't be livestreamed, but they will be posted on YouTube later that day. At 3:15 p.m. PT, there will be a "Developer State of the Union" with OpenAI president Greg Brockman and Olivier Godement, who heads up product for the OpenAI Platform. The two OpenAI executives are slated to "demo new capabilities" and share what's ahead for developers. Finally, at 4:15 p.m. PT, Altman and Ive will give a "Closing Fireside Chat" to discuss the "craft of building in the age of AI." That conversation will last about 45 minutes.

OpenAI DevDay event live updates: AI wearable announcement likely

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. OpenAI is holding its DevDay 2025 event today, Oct. 6, and the company has already teased that it has a host of product launches under its sleeve. While it's geared toward developers, the company also typically announces updates to its consumer products, including ChatGPT. This event follows closely on the heels of OpenAI's major product announcements last week, including its highly anticipated Sora 2 model and accompanying new iOS app, as well as a new agentic Instant Checkout e-commerce feature. Since OpenAI didn't hold that news for today's event, it probably means today's announcements will be even bigger. For information on how to watch, what to expect, and live updates of the event as it unfolds, you can follow the live blog below, updated throughout the day from the venue. Demos of Apps SDK By Sabrina Ortiz, Senior Editor / Oct. 6 at 1:30 p.m. ET Alexi Christakis, software engineer at OpenAI, led a live demo showcasing an app in action within the ChatGPT interface. In this example, he opened the Coursera app, which populated a video from the learning platform right within the chat. From there, a user can ask follow-up questions in a process OpenAI called "talking to apps." In this case, Christakis talked to ChatGPT regarding the video's contents. In another example, he asked Canva to help create a poster -- within the interface, Canva was able to output four poster examples in line. They were accompanied by an explanation of what ChatGPT did. The App SDK also gives access to full-screen within ChatGPT. To push the limits even further, Christakis asked ChatGPT to create a pitch deck from the poster, which got "ooo's" and "ah's" from the audience. As that was happening, he moved on to another prompt, asking ChatGPT what city he should bring the pretend project to, where he called on Zillow to help find homes in the area. Then the Zillow experience became available within ChatGPT. To filter the Zillow results down, Alexi just had to type in a natural language prompt, showing how users could narrow down results using text as opposed to having to mess with filters on the Zillow website. By then, the slide deck was finished and looked very polished. Christakis was able to view it in full-screen. From here, users could then tweak the slides further through other prompts and open them in Canva. The App SDK is available in preview starting today for developers. Later this year, developers will be able to submit apps for review to be listed. Apps inside ChatGPT By Sabrina Ortiz, Senior Editor / Oct. 6 at 1:15 p.m. ET Sam Altman opened up DevDay with a breakdown of the coming announcements, which fall into four categories: apps inside ChatGPT, Building agents, writing code, and API updates. We're starting with apps inside ChatGPT. OpenAI is making it easier for developers to build in ChatGPT by launching the Apps SDK. This gives developers access to the full stack, allowing them to build actual apps as opposed to previous methods such as GPTs, plus it uses Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). There is excitement from developers in the room over the opportunity to monetize. Keynote to start shortly By Sabrina Ortiz, Senior Editor / Oct. 6 at 12:58 p.m. ET We are live from the keynote room. The event will kick off in a few minutes. Doors are open By Sabrina Ortiz, Senior Editor / Oct. 6 at 12:50 p.m. ET We are live at the event and ready to cover all of the latest updates. What to expect from OpenAI DevDay Since the event is geared towards developers, there will likely be a lot of news specifically targeted at them, such as updates on how to build. Sam Altman posted on X that the company has "got some new stuff to help you build with AI." This lines up with reports saying that OpenAI will be launching an Agent Builder. Additionally, as mentioned above, we also expect some consumer news, following both past-year trends and the magnitude of this event. The schedule includes a chat with Jony Ive, so it is very possible we get an update to the highly anticipated AI wearable OpenAI has been working on. This is the company's biggest DevDay ever, with media invited for the first time and over 1,500 attendees. The event itself is taking place at Fort Mason in San Francisco. Event day schedule The day is going to kick off with a livestreamed keynote with Sam Altman at 10 a.m. PT. Then there will be chats with Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI; Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's chief operating officer; and Jony Ive, a former Apple designer working on OpenAI's hardware product. How to watch OpenAI DevDay 2025 The main keynote with Sam Altman begins Monday, Oct. 6, at 10:00 a.m. PT, 1:00 p.m. ET.
