OpenAI's DevDay 2025 is on October 6: What to expect
What's the story
OpenAI is all set to host its third annual developer conference, DevDay 2025, on October 6. The event will take place at Fort Mason in San Francisco and is expected to draw over 1,500 attendees. This year's conference promises to be OpenAI's biggest yet with major announcements and keynotes from top executives including CEO Sam Altman.
Keynote
Altman's keynote to open the event
Altman's keynote will kick off DevDay 2025 at 10:00am PT (10:30pm IST) on October 6. He is expected to make "announcements, live demos, and a vision of how developers are reshaping the future with AI." The keynote will be streamed live on OpenAI's YouTube page. Other speakers include Cursor co-founder Aman Sanger, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, and Andreessen Horowitz Investing Partner Kimberly Tan.
Event features
AI-powered experiences and 'Developer State of the Union'
DevDay 2025 will also feature a series of AI-powered experiences such as "Sora Cinema," a mini-theater showcasing short films generated by OpenAI's video model, Sora. There will also be a phone booth with a "living portrait" of computer scientist Alan Turing that speaks back. Later, OpenAI President Greg Brockman and Olivier Godement will host a "Developer State of the Union," demoing new capabilities for developers.
Final discussion
Altman, Jony Ive will discuss 'craft of building in AI-age'
The conference will end with a "Closing Fireside Chat" between Altman and Jony Ive, Apple's former chief designer. They will discuss the "craft of building in the age of AI." This conversation is expected to last about 45 minutes. Although nothing has been confirmed for DevDay 2025, there are plenty of rumors about possible announcements such as an AI-powered browser, or updates on an AI device being developed with Ive.
