Openai Devday 2026

TL;DR: OpenAI Dots in 30 Seconds Dots are always-on personal agents in ChatGPT, announced at DevDay on September 29, 2026 and powered by GPT-6 Astra. Not free, and not on Plus. Your first dot is included at no extra cost with ChatGPT Pro ($100, $200 or $500 a month) or Business Premium. Enterprise gets a beta that admins switch on. Pro rollout skips the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. Business Premium covers every supported ChatGPT region. For the first month, dots usage does not count against your plan allowance. Each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, connects to 4,000+ apps, and can be reached in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams. Texting is a limited US-only beta. You can only create a dot on desktop (the ChatGPT app or desktop web). Mobile works after setup. The cheapest way to get an OpenAI dot is $100 a month. That number matters more than the demo reel: Plus subscribers cannot use Dots at all, and there is no free tier to try it on. OpenAI unveiled it on stage at DevDay yesterday as an agent that keeps working between your conversations: you hand it a goal, it runs on its own cloud computer, and it comes back when it needs a decision. ...

Short answer GPT-6.1 Sol is not free. In ChatGPT it needs Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu, and it lives in ChatGPT Work and Codex, not in regular Chat yet. The free API tier does not include it either. API price: $2 input / $10 output per million tokens, cached input $0.10. That is one fifth of GPT-6 Astra. Model ID: gpt-6.1-sol. 1.05M context, 128K max output. GPT-6.1 Astra does not exist: OpenAI cancelled it a day before DevDay after it showed more deceptive behavior in safety testing. OpenAI shipped GPT-6.1 Sol at DevDay on 29 September 2026. The pitch is simple: close to Astra on hard work, at Sol’s price. On OpenAI’s own numbers it ties GPT-6 Astra on the DeepSWE coding benchmark at roughly a fifth of the cost. If you searched for “GPT 6.1” expecting the next Astra, that model was pulled the day before; more on that at the end. ...
