OpenAI First DevDay

What's new in ChatGPT? A Recap of the Highlights!

On November 6, 2023, OpenAI hosted its first developer conference, OpenAI DevDay, in San Francisco. The one-day event brought together hundreds of developers from around the world to preview new tools and exchange ideas with OpenAI's technical staff. 

The keynote address and breakout sessions covered a range of topics, from the latest advances in generative AI to the ethical and social implications of building AI-powered applications. Here are some of the highlights from the event:


New models

OpenAI announced the release of two new models, GPT-4.5 and DALL·E 2, which are now available through the OpenAI API. GPT-4.5 is a 1.5 trillion-parameter language model that can generate coherent and diverse texts across multiple domains and languages. DALL·E 2 is a 12 billion-parameter vision-language model that can create images from text descriptions, such as "a cat wearing a hat" or "a skyscraper made of cheese". Both models are powered by the new OpenAI Codex engine, which enables faster and more efficient training and inference.


New developer products

OpenAI launched a new Assistants API, which allows developers to build their own "agent-like experiences" using ChatGPT. Developers can make agents that retrieve outside knowledge or call programming functions for a specific action. The use cases range from an assistant for coding to an AI-powered vacation planner. OpenAI also introduced a new Playground, which is a web-based interface for exploring and testing the OpenAI API. The Playground features a code editor, a live output window, and a gallery of examples and templates.


New features in ChatGPT

OpenAI showcased the new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT, its popular chatbot app for iOS and Android. Users can now have a voice conversation with ChatGPT, choosing from different AI voice options. Users can also show ChatGPT what they are talking about by uploading photos or taking pictures with their smartphone camera. ChatGPT can then analyze the images and generate relevant responses or comments.


New research and insights

OpenAI shared some of the latest research and insights from its team of scientists and engineers. Some of the topics included the challenges and opportunities of scaling up AI models, the methods and metrics for evaluating the quality and diversity of generative outputs, the best practices and principles for designing human-AI interactions, and the social and ethical implications of deploying AI systems in the real world.


OpenAI DevDay was a successful and inspiring event that showcased the state-of-the-art in generative AI and the potential of OpenAI's products and platforms. Developers who attended the event or watched the livestream were able to learn from OpenAI's experts, network with other developers, and get hands-on experience with the new tools and features. For those who missed the event or want to revisit the sessions, the recordings will be available on the OpenAI DevDay website² one week after the event.
