OpenAI Also Claims "Far Ahead": This Year's Developer Conference Will Surpass All Previous Editions, Community Speculates Next-Gen Model Astra Coming Soon

OpenAI Codex head Tibo Sottiaux has set high expectations for this year's DevDay, stating it will be the best in the company's history and "far ahead" of previous ones. The conference will take place on September 29 in San Francisco, with the opening keynote streamed live.

Previous editions also featured major releases. At the inaugural DevDay in 2023, OpenAI launched GPT-4 Turbo, GPTs, and the Assistants API; in 2024, it introduced development tools like the Realtime API and Prompt Caching; and in 2025, it brought ChatGPT Apps, AgentKit, Sora 2 API, and GPT-5 Pro API, while fully rolling out Codex. Tibo did not reveal what is planned this year, but the comment section has already begun speculating that the next-generation model Astra will be unveiled.
