OpenAI unveils always-on "Dots" assistant and cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol at DevDay
The company also introduced a shared team workspace, a Decisions API and cloud-based Codex.
SAN FRANCISCO — OpenAI used its annual developer conference in San Francisco on Tuesday to push further into AI agents that keep working in the background, alongside a new model aimed at cutting costs for developers.
The headline launches
Dots is an always-on assistant built on the company's top-tier Astra model. Users hand it tasks, connect their apps and let it run; OpenAI pitches it as something that learns a person's priorities over time. It puts OpenAI in direct competition with Meta's Muse app.
GPT-6.1 Sol is an upgraded model that OpenAI says comes close to Astra's performance on coding and computer-use tasks at a fraction of the price — a pitch aimed squarely at businesses running agents at scale.
Tools for teams and developers
ChatGPT Space is a persistent shared workspace where people and AI agents collaborate on projects, combining features usually spread across chat, document and file-storage apps. A new Decisions API lets companies hand narrow, repetitive choices — such as approve or reject — to AI while limiting it to a fixed set of outcomes. And Codex, the company's coding agent, can now run in the cloud so developers can manage tasks from any device.
Pricing and availability details varied by product and plan.
