OPENAI π₯: Key insights from upcoming DevDay sessions.
* This agenda is not public yet
First, OpenAI will build Platform capabilities inside Codex, enabling users to develop plugins, agents, and apps right from a dedicated DevDay page, which is quite cool!
Highlights from the agenda π
> Claw Labs "Join Peter Steinberger for a look at how agents can change the way open-source teams build."
> π₯ Codex Game Studio "What makes a game easy for humans but hard for AI? Build one and put Codex to the test."
> π₯ What Will You Build With Coding Agents That Donβt Quit? What engineering work deserves your time and tokens? Learn from a Codex run that spent more than 1,000 hours keeping builds and tests passing in a large shared codebase. See how this internal OpenAI agent had goals, subagents, and persistent plans that helped it investigate failures and coordinate fixes.
> Codex Has Left The Laptop "As we move from delegating individual tasks to letting Codex tackle entire problems and goals on its own, itβs possible to harness the power of Codex wherever and however you work. "
> From Single Player to Multiplayer with Codex "Follow a 2am outage from the first Slack messages to a reviewed fix and an update for the team."
> What Comes After Loops?: Deep Dive Into Agentic Architecture "As models become more capable, agent architectures are changing. We'll trace the evolution from simple loops to collaborating agents, examine the design choices and model advancements behind that shift, and take a deep dive into what comes next."
