OpenAI employee Gabriel Chua shared his 4th DevDay experience—his first as an OpenAI employee—having worked on the dots live demo. He revealed that demos 3 & 4 ran through the calls functionality, and praised presenter Holly for handling an on-stage failure and recovering exceptionally well under pressure. The time difference between SF and Singapore meant he couldn't reach his wife right away.
