Dots, GPT-6.1 Sol, and a $500 Plan: Key Highlights from OpenAI DevDay 2026

At the DevDay 2026 conference in San Francisco, OpenAI announced over twenty new products and updates. The highlight is 'Dots'—autonomous agents with dedicated cloud computing resources that operate in the background. The company also introduced GPT-6.1 Sol, a model offering performance near the flagship Astra level at a fraction of the cost. Other updates include the high-speed 'Ultrafast' mode for Codex, a new $500/month 'Pro 500' enterprise plan, and 'ChatGPT Space,' a collaborative workspace for humans and agents. Notably, the launch of the flagship GPT-6.1 Astra was canceled just one day before the event. These updates underscore OpenAI's focus on agentic systems and expanding capabilities for enterprise users, despite shifts in their flagship release roadmap.
