OpenAI DevDay 2025 kicks off today at 10 a.m. PT in San Francisco with a roughly one-hour keynote featuring announcements and live demos; OpenAI says the keynote will be livestreamed, with other sessions recorded and shared afterward. See OpenAI’s DevDay announcement for event details.
For procurement, security, and ops leaders, the stakes are pricing, throughput, and admin guardrails that determine rollout speed and risk, factors that separate controlled pilots from sprawling shadow IT.
Keynote timing and format
The opening session runs about an hour and will be livestreamed on openai.com, while other sessions will be recorded and shared afterward, according to OpenAI’s DevDay announcement. Use this window to capture concrete pricing tables, rate limits, and admin features the moment they’re shown. Recordings of later sessions will be posted, so teams can review details after the keynote.
Enterprise themes to track
Look for tenant-isolation options, private networking, and admin audit trails, signals for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 alignment and regulated-data use. Any “agent” frameworks that coordinate tools, approvals, and logs across business apps will influence security reviews and change management.
Clarify org-level data retention and disable-training switches; procurement will key in on default behaviors versus opt-outs. Hard numbers on tokens-per-minute, concurrency, and SLOs translate directly into cost and performance planning.
If Excel or Docs integrations are baked in, expect immediate demand from finance and ops teams.
What teams should prep now
Assign one editor to transcribe any pricing and throughput figures live; update internal benchmarks immediately after the keynote. Map any data controls, VPC, retention, org roles, to your policy gaps and required proofs: audits, logs, admin overrides.
Pre-select two to three low-risk workflows, invoice support, sales ops summaries, to trial if new agents or automation features ship. Line up security and legal to review license terms and retention defaults the same day. Speed here determines whether your organization leads adoption or plays catch-up once business units self-provision accounts.
