On Wednesday, OpenAI announced that it will host its first-ever developer conference, OpenAI DevDay, on November 6, 2023, in San Francisco. The one-day event hopes to bring together hundreds of developers to preview new tools and discuss ideas with OpenAI’s technical staff.
Launched in November, ChatGPT has driven intense interest in generative AI around the world, including tech investments, talk of regulations, a GPU hardware boom, and the emergence of competitors. OpenAI says in a blog post that since launching its first API in 2020, over 2 million developers now use its models like GPT-3, GPT-4, DALL-E, and Whisper for a variety of applications, “from integrating smart assistants into existing applications to building entirely new applications and services that weren’t possible before.”
While OpenAI’s DevDay event will mostly take place in person, the keynote and potentially some parts of the conference will be streamed online. “The one-day event will bring hundreds of developers from around the world together with the team at OpenAI to preview new tools and exchange ideas,” writes OpenAI. “In-person attendees will also be able to join breakout sessions led by members of OpenAI’s technical staff.”
