A quick, no BS recap of OpenAI Dev Day announcements

So you don't have to watch a 1 hour long live-stream:

GPT 4-Turbo
• GPT 4-Turbo is now available via the API
• 128k token context (vs. 32k previously)
• More than 50% cheaper than GPT-4
• April 2023 Knowledge cutoff (vs. Sept 2021)
• Improved performance from GPT-4
• Can now provide images along side your text input prompt via API
• A new JSON mode that forces GPT to respond in pure JSON
• More generous rate limiting

Custom GPTs
• Users can build their own "Custom GPTs" that are specialized for specific tasks
• You can make CustomGPTs without coding. Use natural language, and upload files for context
• Enterprises can make company & org-specific Custom-GPTs
• OpenAI is giving us two Custom GPTs to start: Canva and ZapierAI

Custom GPT Store
• Users can upload their CustomGPTs to the store for others to use
• OpenAI will provide a revenue share program, where authors of popular models will receive $.

Assistants API
• The assistants API lets you build autonomous agents that have access to tools.
• OpenAI currently provides 3 tools to start: Code Interpreter (coding), Retrieval (Custom Knowledge), and Function Calling
• Just like with the normal API, you specify its role via a a custom instruction.

Human Quality Speech
• Open AI released the tts-1 and tts-1-hd models.
• The tts-1 model is optimized for speed, and tts-1-hd model for quality
• Choose from 1 out of 6 voice types and create realistic sounding human speech from an API

Copyright Shield
• Protects you and your company from copyright claims when using OpenAI's products

Whisper V3
• As a quick recap, Whisper is OpenAI's speech-to-text model. It transcribes voice and outputs text.
• Whisper is open source, and V3 was also released as open source.
• It seems via the API (paid), Whisper v3 is not available yet at the moment.

Custom Models for Enterprise
• For select companies, OpenAI's research team will create a custom model for your enterprise with specific domain knowledge.

That about wraps up everything!

As a developer, I'm most excited about the GPT 4-Turbo updates.

I'm also curious to see how the Assistants API will work, and if it will make abstraction layers like Langchain redundant, since retrieval is built-in to the API.


OpenAI announced they are releasing the ChatGPT Store, an App Store for ChatGPT

Shopify Apps: 33,000 apps, $561M of revenue
App Store: 1.8M apps, $910B of revenue
ChatGPT Store: 0 "agents", $0 revenue

Probably millions of agents, billions of money to be made coming soon

I wish I had created an app for Apple App Store in 2009 when App Store came out

Tons of opportunity to be building for ChatGPT right now.
