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

"At the same time, OpenAI faces more competition than ever in the bid to win over developers. In the last year, Anthropic 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."

"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."

OpenAI will hold DevDay 2025 at Fort Mason in San Francisco with more than 1,500 attendees, featuring announcements, executive keynotes, and a fireside chat between Sam Altman and Jony Ive. OpenAI is developing multiple new products, including an AI device, a social media app, and an AI-powered browser intended to challenge Chrome. Competition from Anthropic, Google, and Meta has intensified, forcing OpenAI to improve models and adjust pricing. Past DevDays introduced GPT-4 Turbo and developer tools; earlier leadership turmoil and a more modest 2024 event frame expectations. Nothing is confirmed to launch, and rumors about major reveals circulate.
