Griffero no pensaba asistir. Todo cambió el 12 de agosto, cuando Julia Duarte, de Monashees -el fondo brasileño que invirtió en Fintoc- le escribió para comentarle sobre el evento. Postuló ese mismo día y fue aceptado, pero sólo para la transmisión online. No le bastó. Por: Equipo DF MAS Noticias destacadas OpenAI volvió a mover la frontera tecnológica. ChatGPT ya tiene 800 millones de usuarios activos al mes y es la empresa privada más valiosa del planeta, con una valoración de US$ 500 mil millones. El lunes, frente a 1.500 personas en el histórico Fort Mason de San Francisco, Sam Altman presentó las novedades del producto. Entre los asistentes estaba Cristóbal Griffero, CEO de Fintoc, uno de los pocos chilenos que presenció el DevDay 2025. Griffero no pensaba asistir. Todo cambió el 12 de agosto, cuando Julia Duarte, de Monashees -el fondo brasileño que invirtió en Fintoc- le escribió para comentarle sobre el evento. Postuló ese mismo día y fue aceptado, pero sólo para la transmisión online. No le bastó. “Le escribí un mail a una cuenta genérica @openai con un poco de contexto: ‘Hola, soy Cristóbal, hice Fintoc, un producto que usa el 40 % de la población chilena, también fundé una empresa de criptomonedas que transó US$ 300 millones y he hecho aportes al código fuente de Bitcoin’”, cuenta. Funcionó. OpenAI le regaló una entrada presencial. El evento comenzó a las 8 am, con dos horas de networking y desayuno antes de que Altman subiera al escenario. “Fue poco bullshit o teorías de adónde va el mundo -recuerda Griffero-, básicamente fueron los anuncios y los números de ChatGPT”. El primero fue SDK: “que son básicamente sistemas que permiten que uno pueda tener aplicaciones nativas dentro de ChatGPT”, explica. Esto -dice- le cambió su visión de lo que viene en inteligencia artificial, porque “básicamente están trayendo las aplicaciones hacia adentro de ChatGPT, no ChatGPT que salga hacia afuera”. El segundo anuncio fue el Agent Kit, “el primer paso para que cada persona pueda construir su propio asistente personal”. Esta es la herramienta más comentada del evento, ya que puede impactar el día a día de cualquier persona y no es un anuncio técnico. El cierre trajo mejoras en Codex -la herramienta de OpenAI para programadores- y el lanzamiento de la API de Sora 2, su sistema de videos generados por IA. Altman mostró ejemplos como Mattel, que entrega un boceto a Sora y obtiene un video listo para publicidad. Han sido semanas intensas para la firma: firmaron una alianza con AMD y ya circulan rumores sobre el dispositivo que diseña Jony Ive, el histórico creador del iPhone, junto a Altman. Comparte
