Set for September 29 at Fort Mason in San Francisco, OpenAI DevDay 2026 kicks off with an opening keynote led by Sam Altman, scheduled for 10:30 pm IST. The annual gathering for developers will showcase fresh product updates, new tools, live demonstrations, technical sessions, and workshops.
A digital livestream will broadcast the keynote globally so developers can track the announcements remotely. According to the official event page, attendees and viewers alike can expect an opportunity to “go deep in technical sessions” alongside OpenAI teams.
Anticipation centers heavily on ChatGPT, APIs, AI agents, Codex, and developer workflows. Although an official list of announcements remains unconfirmed—leaving several rumored products in question—speculation points to a prospective ChatGPT Pro Max subscription that could cost around USD 500 per month.
Additional reports suggest the introduction of an always-on assistant known as ‘o’ to support longer-running task automation, alongside a project titled ‘Aeon’ designed to execute routine digital tasks through expanded agent capabilities. Furthermore, developers might get updates concerning APIs, Codex, software development workflows, and deployment tools.
OpenAI is expected to showcase enhanced integrations, accelerated processing, and fresh controls tailored for creating AI-driven applications. Enhanced security—featuring monitoring tools, enterprise controls, and safer methodologies for autonomous agents—is also anticipated to take center stage, alongside rumored cybersecurity offerings that lack official confirmation.
Model debuts will be another focal point during Sam Altman’s address, with industry chatter and reports referencing labels like GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Cyber, and GPT-6 Sol.
Because OpenAI has not verified any hardware launches, pricing adjustments, or new GPT models ahead of the event, the officially scheduled developer program stands as a more dependable guide than the pre-DevDay rumors.
Indian viewers can tune into the complimentary stream via the official DevDay event website. Following the main event, OpenAI plans to host DevDay Exchange in Bengaluru, joined by additional international developer gatherings later in the year. Ultimately, the keynote is poised to chart OpenAI’s upcoming trajectory for anyone closely following API developments, AI agents, and Codex.
