A pre-launch Geekbench 7 benchmark shared on X shows OpenAI's dots agent, powered by GPT-6 Astra, running on a nine-core slice of an AMD EPYC 9V74 virtual machine with roughly 9.73GB of memory. The leaked run scored 9,435 multi-core, higher than six post-launch runs found in Geekbench's public database ranging from 8,135 to 8,991. Dots launched Tuesday at OpenAI's DevDay for Pro and Business Premium users, giving each agent its own cloud computer, browser, and preloaded software including Blender, GIMP, and Python.
