These agents could be tied to the ChatGPT Pro plan.
Product updates
ChatGPT Pro Max may also be introduced
OpenAI might also unveil a new model called GPT-6 Sol and discuss potential changes to the ChatGPT desktop experience and its conversational capabilities.
Another rumored development is ChatGPT Pro Max, a possible subscription tier that could cost around $500 per month.
Reports have also hinted at faster response generation through a possible partnership with Cerebras.
Service integration
Other potential announcements at DevDay
OpenAI may also discuss tighter integration between ChatGPT, Work, and Codex, possibly bringing these services into a more connected workflow.
The company is also planning to hold a DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru on October 16. This program will focus on AI development, technical discussions, and interactions with OpenAI teams.
Similar events are also planned in Tokyo, Seoul, London, and Paris.
