OpenAI is holding its annual DevDay developer conference on Tuesday, where the artificial intelligence company announced a flurry of new products and features . This year's DevDay comes as OpenAI has been under intense pressure to address mounting safety concerns after it disclosed several incidents where its models behaved in unintended ways, and the startup held back its latest Astra model over safety concerns. Earlier this month, the company endorsed a call to slow down the pace of advanced AI model development in order to better address the technology's risks. Tune in at 3:15 p.m. ET as OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar joins CNBC TV to talk about AI safety and the company's latest announcements. Watch in real time on CNBC+ or the CNBC Pro stream. CNBC's reporters are covering the OpenAI DevDay event live from San Francisco, and remotely from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Altman left the stage, which means this year's DevDay keynote has come to a close. The company showcased more than 20 different products and features to the roughly 2,500 people in attendance. "AI should be about giving people more power over their own lives, more tools to create, learn, discover, expand knowledge, and with everything we launch today, and the incredible creative spirit that you all bring, we hope that we're going to get to that future," Altman said. "That is the future we are excited to build with you all." OpenAI is engaging in early stage discussions with investors about a potential funding round, CNBC confirmed on Tuesday.

The round is being driven by investor demand and no term sheet has been finalized yet, the person said. Bloomberg was first to report the potential round. OpenAI closed a historic $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation in March. Investors have approached the company with proposals to kick-start a new funding round in recent weeks, as CNBC previously reported. The company is gearing up for a potentially massive IPO that is widely expected to take place next year. OpenAI confidentially filed its prospectus with regulators in June. Altman said OpenAI is launching plugin extensions, which means developers can build plugins that are "essentially entire applications that feel native to ChatGPT" and are distributed through OpenAI. "With plugin extensions, you can build an editor, a dashboard, a whole workspace directly into ChatGPT and Codex," Altman said. He shared an example of a meetings app built with plugin extensions. The app showed a user's upcoming meetings right within the chatbot. Altman announced OpenAI is previewing OpenAI Private Intelligence, which will give users stronger controls over their data while still using the most advanced capabilities of OpenAI's models.
