A new AgentKit, open access to an AI coding assistant, ChatGPT Apps SDK, and a multibillion-dollar agreement with AMD – all these updates are illustrating OpenAI ongoing strategy to accelerate the adoption and impact of AI technologies and infrastructure across industries.
On Oct. 6, OpenAI, the AI-driven software development company behind the popular ChatGPT bot and the world’s most valuable ($500 billion worth) startup at the moment, revealed a set of updates for its AI offering, as well as a major deal with AMD, a prominent semiconductor and technology company specializing in high-performance computing systems.
AgentKit simplifies AI agent development
OpenAI launched a new AgentKit that provides developers with a comprehensive set of tools needed to create, deploy, and optimize AI agents. It includes various helpful development features like a visual workflow builder, a connector registry, and ChatKit for embedding chat-based experiences. The toolkit also has expanded evaluation capabilities, including datasets, trace grading, automated prompt optimization, and third-party model support. This initiative aims to streamline the development process, reducing the time and complexity involved in building intelligent agents.
Codex – AI assistant enhancing developer productivity
Codex, first introduced in 2021 as a beta product, is now generally available. It offers developers a powerful AI coding assistant with integrations into popular tools like Slack and an SDK for embedding into custom workflows. Codex is designed to assist in code generation, review, and automation, thereby accelerating development cycles and improving code quality, which can deteriorate from manual mistakes.
ChatGPT Apps SDK is enabling seamless app integration
The introduction of the ChatGPT Apps SDK allows developers to integrate their applications directly into the ChatGPT interface. This integration enables users to interact with third-party services like Canva, Booking.com, Zillow, Coursera, and Spotify through natural language queries, enhancing user experience and broadening the scope of tasks that can be accomplished within ChatGPT. Additional pilot partners are planned to be introduced in the near future, as well as the Apps SDK availability to EU users.
Strategic Partnership with AMD aims to scale AI infrastructure
OpenAI and AMD signed a multi-year, multi-generation agreement, enabling the AI technology developer to gradually deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD GPUs starting next year. Such access to advanced GPUs facilitates the deployment of large-scale AI models obviously required for the next-gen AI tech development. Therefore, the partnership aims to provide the computational power necessary to support the growing demands of AI applications and to accelerate the development of innovative technologies. Earlier, OpenAI had made similar deals with Nvidia and Oracle, investing heavily in the development of data centers and infrastructure necessary to power its growing AI ambitions.
