San Francisco – OpenAI is scheduled to host its third annual developer conference, DevDay 2025, on Monday, October 6, at Fort Mason. The event is expected to draw over 1,500 attendees and will feature keynotes from OpenAI executives, product announcements, and a fireside chat between CEO Sam Altman and former Apple designer Jony Ive. The conference is anticipated to highlight OpenAI's broadened strategic objectives and new product categories as it navigates an increasingly competitive artificial intelligence market.
The company's current product development efforts extend beyond its initial ChatGPT and API services. OpenAI is reportedly developing an AI device, a social media application, and an AI-powered browser, signaling an expansion into various technology sectors. This contrasts with its first DevDay in 2023, which predominantly focused on its core large language model offerings.
OpenAI faces intensified competition in attracting developers, with models from companies like Anthropic and Google demonstrating increased capabilities in coding and web design tasks. This competitive pressure has prompted OpenAI to introduce enhanced AI models at adjusted pricing structures. Furthermore, Meta Platforms Inc.'s newly established Meta Superintelligence Labs is emerging as another significant contender in the AI landscape.
Previous DevDay events have served as platforms for significant announcements. DevDay 2023 saw the introduction of the GPT-4 Turbo AI model and Altman's vision for the GPT Store, a marketplace for AI agents. The 2024 conference focused on developer upgrades, including an API for AI voice applications.
While no specific launches have been confirmed for DevDay 2025, industry speculation includes the potential unveiling of its AI-powered browser, updates on the AI device collaboration with Ive and former Apple executives, enhancements to the GPT Store, or new functionalities enabling developers to build agentic workflows. The conference agenda includes an opening keynote by CEO Sam Altman at 10 a.m. PT, which will be livestreamed and is expected to detail "announcements, live demos, and a vision of how developers are reshaping the future with AI," according to OpenAI. Other in-person sessions will feature speakers such as Cursor CEO Michael Truell and San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie. The event will conclude with a "Developer State of the Union" led by OpenAI President Greg Brockman and Olivier Godement, followed by the fireside chat between Altman and Ive, which will be recorded and posted online later.
