The Golden Age of AI Engineering

Summary

This scheduled keynote sits in the Software Factories track and brings together two OpenAI product leaders: Alexander Embiricos, Head of Enterprise Product and former Codex product lead, and Romain Huet, Head of Developer Experience. The available supporting material is not yet a confirmed recording of this exact session, but it does connect the session to OpenAI's developer-facing story around multimodal AI systems, including text, vision, voice, model capability shifts, and practical engineering workflows.

The linked Romain Huet video, "From Text to Vision to Voice Exploring Multimodality with Open AI," provides the strongest contextual evidence currently attached to this page. Its extracted and reconstructed slide pages point toward themes such as GPT-4-era model evolution, cheaper and more capable models, vision use cases, natural interfaces, and developer tooling. Taken together with Embiricos's background in Codex and enterprise product, the session is likely best treated as a keynote about how AI engineering is moving from isolated model demos toward production software factories, where multimodal models, developer platforms, and enterprise workflows become part of the same engineering system.
