OpenAI’s ’12 Days’ Event Culminates in Exciting Product Launches
On December 20, 2024, OpenAI brought its ambitious “12 Days of OpenAI” event to a grand conclusion, unveiling a series of groundbreaking product announcements and features. These innovative releases dominated tech headlines throughout the month, marking a significant stride towards making AI more practical and accessible for both consumers and developers.
The major announcements included:
- The launch of ChatGPT Pro, a $200 per month subscription plan
- The full version of the reasoning-capable o1 model
- The highly anticipated public release of text-to-video generator Sora
- Expanded ChatGPT integration with Apple Intelligence
- The introduction of o3, OpenAI’s next-generation AI model
- The unveiling of Projects for better chat organization and Canvas for interactive workspaces
- Making ChatGPT accessible via a 1-800 number and WhatsApp
These announcements underscore OpenAI’s aggressive push to maintain its leadership position in the fiercely competitive AI market. CEO Sam Altman had previously teased that the announcements would include “some big ones and some stocking stuffers,” and the company certainly delivered on that promise. The releases came as OpenAI faces increased competition from Google’s Gemini and other AI rivals, prompting the company to recently issue an internal “code red” to focus on core products and maintain its competitive edge.
