<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s OpenAI’s turn in the fall tech events calendar. The company is hosting its annual DevDay on September 29th in San Francisco, starting with a live keynote featuring CEO Sam Altman. The company is teasing <a href="https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104651136699609518?s=20">“20+ launches”</a> with Altman saying that <a href="https://x.com/sama/status/2104661956879913457">“we have found a new thing,”</a>, and rumors suggest it could launch a consumer <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1001590/openai-devday-2026-aeon-ai-agent">AI agent to rival Meta’s Muse</a>. The keynote begins at 1PM ET / 10AM ET, and you can watch it <a href="https://openai.com/live">on OpenAI’s website</a> here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DevDay is happening at a tumultuous moment for OpenAI. The AI industry has been rocked by revelations of agents hacking outside companies, including OpenAI’s own models, which <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/968988/openai-hugging-face-hack-ai">breached Hugging Face</a> earlier this year. The hacks kicked off a broader conversation about a <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/996923/ai-safety-slow-openai-anthropic">potential AI development slowdown</a>. So in addition to new products, Altman and others at OpenAI could use DevDay to discuss the company’s latest stance on AI safety as well.</p>
