OpenAI has announced that its annual developer conference, DevDay, will shift from a large-scale press event to a global gathering of developers, emphasizing a deep engagement with the developer ecosystem rather than pursuing sensationalism. This year's DevDay will concentrate on updates to APIs and developer services, rather than releasing new AI models. This move reflects the challenges in the AI industry, including a scarcity of high-quality training data, restrictions on AI scraping by websites, and potential copyright disputes. The event will take place in San Francisco, London, and Singapore, featuring workshops, breakout sessions, and product demonstrations.
