During its DevDay 2026 conference, OpenAI unveiled several new features, including **Dots**, a novel form of AI that operates continuously and autonomously. These Dots are AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra, designed to take on responsibilities over time rather than completing individual tasks. Each Dot has its own cloud-based computer, can connect to over 4,000 applications, and acts independently without needing to be asked. Users can interact with their Dot through ChatGPT, via writing or voice, in platforms like Slack or Teams, and soon through SMS. Users define what their Dot can do, with sensitive actions like password changes reserved for the user. For now, each account can only have one Dot, available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers (starting at $100 per month) outside Europe and to companies with Business Premium subscriptions. OpenAI also introduced **GPT-6.1 Sol**, a new model released a week after **GPT-6 Sol**. This model is approaching the performance of GPT-6 Astra in areas like coding, computer use, and professional work, but at a price five times lower: $2 per million input tokens and $10 for output. It is available in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API, but not yet in the classic version of ChatGPT. OpenAI also introduced **Ultrafast**, a new paid mode that generates up to 300 tokens per second in Codex, up to 8 times faster than normal, and up to 6 times faster in the API, where it costs six times more. It is available today with GPT-6 Astra, in the API and in ChatGPT for businesses and Pro 500 subscribers. A version for GPT-6.1 Sol is coming soon. OpenAI launched a new subscription at $500 per month, offering the highest usage quota and access to Ultrafast. At the same time, the $200 Pro subscription loses some of its value: in ChatGPT Work and Codex, its quota is reduced from 20 to 10 times that of the Plus subscription, and GPT-6 Pro messages are halved, from 200 to 100 per week. Current subscribers will retain their limits during a transition period and will receive a single credit as compensation. "Sign in with ChatGPT" allows users to log in to tools using their ChatGPT account. Plus and Pro subscribers can mainly use their subscription directly in 16 partner tools, including **Notion**, **Vercel**, **Devin** (Cognition), or **OpenClaw**, without needing an API key, and can choose how much each tool can consume. OpenAI's development tool, **Codex**, has several new features: The command line can be controlled by voice. A "/agents" view allows tracking of multiple tasks in parallel. The ChatGPT app on the computer integrates code review for **GitHub** and **GitLab**. **Codex Security Cloud** analyzes entire repositories on demand or at regular intervals to find vulnerabilities and prepare patches. Codex works equally well on a computer, remotely from a phone, or in the cloud, with shared development environments for teams. OpenAI announced that **ChatGPT** is now used by 1.2 billion people each week, up from 1 billion this summer. To conclude the conference, OpenAI announced a general reset of ChatGPT and Codex quotas so that everyone can try out the new features. OpenAI also launched a beta plugin called **Meetings on Mac**, which takes meeting notes and generates summaries and actions to be taken. Audio recordings are deleted once the notes are ready. **Private Intelligence**, a marketplace for businesses, offers automated security controls without any employee accessing their data. Large American accounts will also be able to spend part of their OpenAI budget on software from 32 partners, including **Adobe**, **Figma**, **Salesforce**, or **CrowdStrike**. OpenAI did not present the first device designed with Jony Ive, which had been anticipated for months. This absence leaves room for **Meta**, a week after the presentation of the **Muse Charm**, the small dedicated device for its agent. OpenAI had promised to reveal its device in the second half of 2026, but stated in a legal document in February that it would not be delivered before the end of February 2027. It has three months left to at least show it. OpenAI also launched **GPT-6.1 Sol**, which is now available for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu subscribers, but only in ChatGPT Work and Codex, not yet in the classic chat. For speed, OpenAI adds Ultrafast versions of Astra and Sol, up to eight times faster, offered in the API as well as in ChatGPT Work and Codex for a new Pro plan at $500 per month. A security note here too, the model is classified as "critical" in cybersecurity and inherits Astra's safeguards. On tasks designed to encourage dishonesty, it presents its code deceptively in 1.5% of cases, compared to 0.5% for Astra. OpenAI also presented **ChatGPT Space**, a shared workspace where colleagues, ChatGPT, and their dots share documents and knowledge. ChatGPT organizes it according to the team's instructions, allowing quick retrieval of a file or resuming a project where it was left off. It is available for Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscriptions, on computers and on the web, with a mobile version coming soon. OpenAI also reveals **Pages**, a new type of collaborative document on which humans and agents work together. OpenAI also launched the "Log in with ChatGPT" button. Once connected to a partner application, users consume the tokens included in their ChatGPT subscription, and the developer no longer has to pay anything. For more information, OpenAI explained: a computer in the cloud, 4,000 apps, and an agent that never sleeps. For the user, the benefit is having a single AI bill instead of two. For the startup, it could potentially end the most painful expense: paying for the inference of free users who try the product. For OpenAI, they likely hope that the 1.2 billion weekly users transform into a payment method, with a subscription that becomes increasingly expensive to cancel as more applications accept it. OpenAI announced 16 partners at launch, with a list to come, and a "very fast" extension promised. Indeed, the new Pro 500 subscription, priced at $500 per month, is sold with this use in mind: 25 times the Plus quota, usable anywhere the button appears. This quota is shared, and this is the key point. What is consumed in a third-party application disappears from what can be used in ChatGPT, in Spaces, or with GPT-6.1 Sol. Third attempt at a platform, after plugins and the GPT Store. Sam Altman acknowledged on stage "mixed results" for previous attempts. The package is more complete this time. Plugin extensions that are entire applications within ChatGPT, including a home application called **Meetings** that takes notes during meetings and then opens a shared workspace for follow-up, **Figma** to review a design without leaving the conversation, and **Adobe Photoshop**. Plugins are offered during a conversation when ChatGPT estimates they can help. And an **OpenAI Marketplace** with more than 30 partners, including **Notion**, **Vercel**, and **CodeRabbit**, where companies spend their existing OpenAI commitment, including for open-source models via **Baseten**. For more information, **Spaces**: OpenAI is targeting **Notion** and **Google Docs** from ChatGPT. And in Europe? We are once again sidelined. In Europe, where dots are not available at launch, nothing has been announced about this button. The social login made the fortune of **Google** and **Facebook** in exchange for your data. OpenAI's login will therefore be in tokens. It remains to be seen how long a Plus subscription lasts when three applications draw from it, even with a model five times cheaper than Astra under the hood. For more information, **GPT-6.1 Sol** vs **Astra**: almost the same level for a fifth of the price.
