OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced plans for a new 'low-key research preview' to be shared soon, hinting at a potential successor to ChatGPT. This upcoming preview is expected to be named more effectively than ChatGPT, in anticipation of its potential widespread adoption. Speculation is rife about the nature of this new project, with some suggesting it could be an entry into the software engineering agent (SWE-agent) space, possibly named A-SWE. OpenAI is set to livestream the reveal of this new development on Friday at 8:00 AM PT, targeting developers and those interested in becoming developers. There is also buzz about the possibility of OpenAI integrating or acquiring Windsurf, a platform that could enhance their offerings in the coding and development sector. The event is anticipated to showcase either a preview of a new coding agent, potentially named Codex in ChatGPT, or significant updates related to Windsurf.
