**OpenAI introduced dots, GPT-6.1 Sol and ChatGPT Space at DevDay 2026 on September 29.** The keynote covered agents that keep tasks moving, collaboration inside ChatGPT and updates for developers building applications.

The faces in [the teaser we explored yesterday](/en/guides/openai-devday-2026-teaser-20-launches/) now accompany a product announcement: [dots](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104984504133918973). The demos showed work being delegated and reviewed later. Some features are rolling out; others remain previews or are coming later.

## What are OpenAI dots?

[Dots](https://openai.com/index/introducing-dots/) use GPT-6 Astra, retain context and work on their own cloud computer. You can follow a task from ChatGPT, Slack or Teams. OpenAI positions them for ongoing responsibilities, such as checking information and preparing work for approval.

Your first dot is included in eligible plans, with a work allowance. Tasks it delegates to Codex or Work count toward their usual limits. **Review connected apps and approval rules before delegating.**

## GPT-6.1 Sol: API pricing and performance

OpenAI presents [GPT-6.1 Sol](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104986129686741046) as approaching Astra in its evaluations at lower token prices. That comparison depends on the task; testing it with our own materials is still ahead.

### Sol 6.1 benchmarks against Sol, Astra and Opus

Choose a benchmark and a reasoning level. Each bar shows the score; the figure below it is the average task cost in that evaluation. **Low, Medium, High, Xhigh and Max are reasoning settings, not subscription plans.**

Three comparisons help explain the results:

- **Code, High:** Sol 6.1 scores 75.22% on DeepSWE, compared with Astra’s 73.23%. Average task costs are US$0.65 and US$3.92, respectively.
- **Automation, Medium:** Sol 6.1 reaches 31.70%; Opus 5.5 with fallback models reaches 29.53%. Costs are US$0.19 and US$0.65 per task.
- **Science, Max:** Astra retains an advantage: 68.10% against Sol 6.1’s 57.02%. Sol costs US$5.47 per task; Astra costs US$23.80.

In these results, increasing reasoning does not always improve the score. A coding benchmark’s task cost also cannot be assumed for marketing work: tools, tokens and success criteria differ.

### What the API costs

<table class="devday-prices"><caption>US$ per million tokens</caption><thead><tr><th>GPT-6.1 Sol</th><th>US$</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th scope="row">Input</th><td>2.00</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Cached input</th><td>0.10</td></tr><tr><th scope="row">Output</th><td>10.00</td></tr></tbody></table>

[Official pricing](https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-6-1-sol/). The model ID is `gpt-6.1-sol`. As a calculated example, 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens cost **US$0.04**, excluding tools and caching. A workflow with several calls accumulates usage.

## Space and Pages: review work with your team

[ChatGPT Space](https://chatgpt.com/features/space/) supports shared pages, comments and requests for ChatGPT or a dot to make changes. It is available on Pro, Business and Enterprise. At launch, mobile supports reading and sharing; editing will follow.

For a content team, we suggest testing it with a real brief: gather references, request a proposal and review changes on the page. Check whether it preserves brand decisions and distinguishes facts from assumptions.

## Plugins and using your plan in other apps

[Plugin extensions](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/build/extensions) let developers add panels and editors inside ChatGPT. The keynote showed design and collaboration examples, including Adobe.

With [Sign in with ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001542-using-your-chatgpt-plan-in-other-apps-and-sites), Plus and Pro users can authorize participating apps to use their allowance. You can set a weekly limit per app. **The app may charge separately for its own services.**

## More keynote announcements

- **[Ultrafast](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104993966043320759):** OpenAI advertises up to 300 tokens per second in Codex. Generation speed alone does not measure how long a full task takes.
- **[Codex Security Cloud](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104987422308335828):** reviews repositories, investigates findings and prepares fixes in the cloud.
- **Decisions API:** a limited preview for choosing among predefined answers with Luna.
- **Agents API and Bedrock:** computer use and new options for running agents.
- **Pro 500, Private Intelligence and Marketplace:** additional usage capacity and enterprise updates.

The [official recap](https://openai.com/index/devday-2026-recap/) explains plans and availability. During the [keynote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fls_onRviPM), the voice demo ran into trouble and the presenter continued in the terminal. Before making a workflow part of daily work, test it on your own tasks.

For marketing, we would start with a small deliverable that is easy to check: a sourced report, a reviewed brief or a proposal with traceable changes. Our guide to [analyzing social media with real data](/en/guides/analyze-social-media-chatgpt-real-data/) explains how to check the figures for that test. Compatibility between the new dots and HeyMark still needs testing.
