OpenAI Developing AI Agent to Replace Software Engineers, CFO Says
Summary
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said the startup is building an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that can do all the work of software engineers, not just augment their skills, during a wide-ranging interview at a recent Goldman Sachs conference. Devin could plan and execute complex engineering tasks, and it can use common developer tools within a gated environment, “everything a human would need to do their work,” the startup said. Friar also revealed that GPT-4.5, OpenAI’s most advanced GPT model, was trained to have more EQ — emotional quotient or intelligence — not just technical skills. Friar compared OpenAI’s infrastructure investment to Amazon’s strategic decision to develop AWS rather than outsourcing cloud computing to competitors. For example, the release of OpenAI’s video generation model Sora was delayed by nearly a year because the company didn’t have enough computing power to handle user requests.
