It has been almost a year since OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public, kicking off the generative AI boom that has quickly reshaped the tech industry.
Since then, OpenAI has been racing to maintain its early lead over an increasingly crowded set of rivals by releasing GPT-4, plug-ins that let ChatGPT hook into other services, the DALL-E 3 image generator, and an enterprise tier. On Monday, the company is hosting its first-ever developer conference called DevDay in San Francisco, where it’s expected to announce a platform for building custom chatbots.
The Verge will be covering all the news out of OpenAI DevDay. The main keynote kicks off at 10AM PT and is being livestreamed on YouTube.

ChatGPT is getting GPT-4 Turbo.
The chatbot uses the latest version of OpenAI’s large language model, allowing it to browse the web to write and run code, analyze data, and more. It also won’t have the “annoying” drop-down model-picker menu — it will know which model to use automatically.

You’ll be able to make a custom ChatGPT bot.
They’re called GPTs and are meant to be tailored to specific uses.
You’ll be able to add custom instructions, knowledge, and actions and can program them by typing what you want them to do.

Satya Nadella is here.
The Microsoft CEO says, “We love you guys … You guys have built something magical.”
He spent a couple minutes talking about Microsoft’s vision for putting AI everywhere (he said “Copilot” a lot).
“I’m excited for us to build AGI together,” Altman said.

OpenAI’s “copyright shield” defends customers from legal action.
Here’s Sam Altman on the new offer:
We can defend our customers and pay the costs incurred if you face legal claims around copyright infringement and this applies both to ChatGPT Enterprise and the API.
-
GPT-4 Turbo will be cheaper for developers.
Altman says developers said they’d build a lot more if OpenAI could lower the price. So it’s lowing the price by 3x for input tokens and 2x for output tokens.
OpenAI will work on speed gains for developers next. It’ll be “a lot faster” soon, he says.
-
“We are just as annoyed as all of you —
probably more — that GPT4’s knowledge ended in 2021. We will try to never let it get that out of date again,” Sam Altman said on stage.
Good news for ChatGPT users, bad news for anyone scared of how disruptive a current version of this system could be.
