Summary and Initial Thoughts of the OpenAI DevDay

Yesterday, OpenAI held its first-ever DevDay conference.

Here you have a quick summary of the announcements presented:

  1. More speed.
  2. Price reductions.
  3. More Capabilities.
  4. Platform Play: Marketplace for customized GPTs + Revenue Sharing Schemes. 👈

On the Capabilities front, they announced:

  1. 128k context window. 👈
  2. New version of Whisper.
  3. Reduced knowledge gap: now updated until April 2023. 👈
  4. Improved fine-tuning.
  5. Custom Model Program for very large datasets.
  6. More deterministic behavior and better tools to manage this.
  7. Conversation Threads to hand off state management to OpenAI. 👈
  8. Conversation Threads Management.
  9. Assistants API to facilitate the creation of (autonomous) Agent Architectures.
  10. ChatGPT with a unified and seamless experience: automatically selecting the appropriate model (multi-modality) or plug-in. 👈

In essence, a true “AI as-a-Service” play that aims to capture the application landscape with support from Microsoft.

Details matter, and we will see how all these things work out when the rubber hits the road. Competitors will react too. In any case, one thing is clear to me: less friction and more power for developers are good foundations for a promising and transformational outlook

Interesting times, indeed 😉.
