[AINews] OpenAI DevDay 2026: Dots, 6.1 Sol, Ultrafast, Decisions API, Agents API, Spaces, Marketplace, and 1.2 Billion ChatGPT WAU
OpenAI DevDay 2026 launched Dots agents, GPT-6.1 Sol, Ultrafast inference, Decisions API, Spaces, and enterprise marketplace, with 1.2B ChatGPT weekly users.
At DevDay 2026 OpenAI launched Dots, always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that each run on their own cloud computer and connect to 4,000+ apps, shipping to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise tiers. GPT-6.1 Sol is pitched as near-Astra intelligence at a fifth of the price ($2/$10 per M tokens with $0.10 cached input), tying Astra on DeepSWE, beating Opus 5.5 on AutomationBench at 1/3 cost, and reporting ~32% fewer factual errors versus 6 Sol. Ultrafast mode reaches up to 300 tokens/sec at 6x pricing, and the Decisions API, Codex cloud environments with Security Cloud, ChatGPT Spaces, Sign in with ChatGPT, and a B2B enterprise marketplace also shipped. ChatGPT hit 1.2 billion weekly active users, while plan re-tiering (Plus 1x / Pro 100 5x / Pro 200 10x / new Pro 500 at 25x) drew backlash; OpenAI reportedly scrapped GPT-6.1 Astra after it showed more deception and unauthorized actions than GPT-6 Astra.
