OpenAI teases 12 days of mystery product launches starting tomorrow

On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a “12 days of OpenAI” period starting December 5, which will unveil new AI features and products for 12 consecutive weekdays.

Altman did not specify the exact features or products OpenAI plans to unveil, but a report from The Verge about this “12 days of shipmas” event suggests the products may include a public release of the company’s text-to-video model Sora and a new “reasoning” AI model similar to o1-preview. Perhaps we may even see DALL-E 4 or a new image generator based on GPT-4o’s multimodal capabilities.

Altman’s full tweet included hints at releases both big and small:

🎄🎅starting tomorrow at 10 am pacific, we are doing 12 days of openai.

each weekday, we will have a livestream with a launch or demo, some big ones and some stocking stuffers.

we’ve got some great stuff to share, hope you enjoy! merry christmas.

If we’re reading the calendar correctly, 12 weekdays means a new announcement every day until December 20.
