Last year, OpenAI held a grand press event in San Francisco, unveiling a slew of new products and tools, including the now-defunct App Store-like GPT Store. This year, however, will be a more subdued affair. On Monday, OpenAI announced a change in format for its DevDay conference, shifting from a major event to a series of on-the-road developer engagement sessions. Notably, the company confirmed it will not release its next major flagship model during DevDay, focusing instead on updates to its APIs and developer services.

Focus on Developer Education

“We’re not planning to announce our next model at DevDay,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch. “We’ll be focused more on educating developers about what’s available and showcasing dev community stories.”
