All the news from OpenAI’s first developer conference

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.

    We’ve got a full story here:

  • 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.

    OpenAI announced more improvements to its large language models, GPT-4 and GPT-3.5, including updated knowledge bases and a much longer context window. The company says it will also follow Google and Microsoft’s lead and begin protecting customers against copyright lawsuits.

    GPT-4 Turbo, currently available via an API preview, has been trained with information dating to April 2023, the company announced Monday at its first-ever developer conference. The earlier version of GPT-4 released in March only learned from data dated up to September 2021. OpenAI plans to release a production-ready Turbo model in the next few weeks but did not give an exact date.

    With the release of ChatGPT one year ago, OpenAI introduced the world to the idea of an AI chatbot that can seemingly do anything. Now, the company is releasing a platform for making custom versions of ChatGPT for specific use cases — no coding required.

    In the coming weeks, these AI agents, which OpenAI is calling GPTs, will be accessible through the GPT Store. Details about how the store will look and work are scarce for now, though OpenAI is promising to eventually pay creators an unspecified amount based on how much their GPTs are used. GPTs will be available to paying ChatGPT Plus subscribers and OpenAI enterprise customers, who can make internal-only GPTs for their employees.

  • “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.

  • GPT-4 Turbo is here.

    OpenAI’s Sam Altman just announced GPT-4 Turbo, the latest version of the company’s GPT large language model. It comes with several improvements, including “better world knowledge” and a 128,000 token window, allowing for longer prompts.

  • Sam Altman is on stage.

    The OpenAI CEO says 2 million developers are now working with the company’s tools, and around 460 companies on the Fortune 500 companies are using its products.

    The really big number? 100 million people are using ChatGPT weekly. That’s huge.

    One hundred million people are using ChatGPT on a weekly basis, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced at its first-ever developer conference on Monday. Since releasing its ChatGPT and Whisper models via API in March, the company also now boasts over two million developers, including over 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies.

    OpenAI announced the figures as it detailed a range of new features, including a platform for building custom versions of ChatGPT to help with specific tasks and GPT-4 Turbo, a new model that has knowledge of world events up to April 2023 and which can fit the equivalent of over 300 pages of text in a single prompt.

    Just as OpenAI is preparing for its first-ever developer conference, a significant ChatGPT update has leaked. According to The Decoder, leaked screenshots and videos show a custom chatbot creator with many of the same features already available in ChatGPT using GPT-4, like web browsing and data analysis. OpenAI will apparently also have a new marketplace where users can share their chatbot or browse those made by others.

    A user called Choi posted a summary of the rumored updates a few days ago. This morning, SEO tools developer Tibor Blaho shared a video of the UI for the feature in action, showing a GPT Builder option that lets users enter a prompt — an example reads “make a creative who helps generate visuals for new products.” — to create a chatbot.
