OpenAI Turns ChatGPT Into an App Platform and Secures Major AMD GPU Pact at DevDay 2025

The moves signal a shift toward a native developer ecosystem inside ChatGPT rather than the consumer hardware some anticipated.

Overview

  • OpenAI launched an Apps SDK in preview that lets developers build full in‑chat applications for ChatGPT, with support for the Model Context Protocol.
  • Live demos showed Coursera, Canva and Zillow running inside ChatGPT, including video playback, design creation and natural‑language filtering of home listings.
  • OpenAI said developers will be able to submit apps for review later this year, creating a path to distribution and monetization within ChatGPT.
  • The company announced a multi‑year infrastructure deal to deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs, alongside a warrant for up to 160 million AMD shares tied to deployment and share‑price milestones.
  • DevDay drew more than 1,500 developers to Fort Mason in San Francisco, with a livestreamed opening keynote and a closing AltmanIve conversation that was not streamed; rumored announcements like an AI wearable or browser were not confirmed.
