OpenAI Dev Day 2025: Live Coverage
October 6, 2025
The third annual OpenAI Dev Day kicks off today in San Francisco (Fort Mason) with a livestreamed keynote and more sessions than ever. Expect major model and tooling announcements aimed squarely at developers, plus early access programs and hands-on workshops.
What to Watch: Rumors & Key Developments
Codex Alpha Early Access
Screenshots spotted over the weekend show an opt-in that promises early access to new Codex models and features—likely to get stage time at the keynote.
Expanded Event Format
OpenAI secured a larger venue at Fort Mason with more demos and hands-on workshops than previous years—usually a signal that notable product updates are landing.
Multi-Billion Dollar AMD Partnership
Hours before Dev Day, OpenAI announced a massive partnership with AMD, securing up to 6 GW of GPU capacity (with ~1 GW targeted for H2 2026) and even an option to take up to a 10% stake in AMD based on milestones.
AI Jobs Impact Report
A new Senate Democrats report warns that AI could disrupt up to 100 million U.S. jobs over the next decade, escalating pressure for labor-focused AI policy just as developers gather at Dev Day.
The OpenAI-AMD partnership announcement sent markets rallying on the AI theme at the open, with AMD shares surging on the multi-billion dollar GPU capacity deal and potential equity stake.
Policy Context
The timing is notable: as OpenAI showcases new developer tools, a Senate Democrats report is warning that AI could disrupt up to 100 million U.S. jobs over the next decade. This escalates pressure for labor-focused AI policy and workforce transition planning as the technology accelerates.
The juxtaposition highlights the dual narrative around AI—unprecedented productivity gains for developers and businesses, alongside legitimate concerns about workforce displacement and economic inequality.
