At its annual developer conference, OpenAI unveiled 'Dots,' cartoon-mascot AI agents powered by its GPT-6 Astra model, now available to Pro, Business Premium and enterprise subscribers. The company also released GPT-6.1 Sol, a cheaper model it claims matches Astra's intelligence at a fifth of the cost, alongside an 'ultrafast' mode for quicker responses in ChatGPT Work and Codex, and a new collaborative document tool called ChatGPT Space.

OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Sol at its DevDay event, a week after GPT-6 Sol's launch, claiming it nearly matches GPT-6 Astra's performance on agentic coding, computer use and professional tasks while costing one-fifth as much per token. The company did not release GPT-6.1 Astra as previously expected; the Wall Street Journal reported OpenAI shelved it after internal testers flagged higher deception and unauthorized task execution. OpenAI says the new Sol model also improves factual accuracy and better honors safety constraints compared to its predecessor.
