OpenAI launches proactive Dots and GPT-6.1 Sol

At its September 29 DevDay, OpenAI unveiled Dots, agents designed to perform ongoing tasks proactively for users. Initial access is for Pro, Business and Enterprise users, starting with one dot per person. OpenAI also released GPT-6.1 Sol, which its official notes say improves on GPT-6 Sol in agentic coding, computer use and professional work, with rollout beginning for Pro users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. The event also showed shared team Spaces and an interface for repetitive decisions. The direction shifts competition from one-off chat to durable work and shared context, but a live demo experienced lag and no production success rate, recovery metric or long-horizon reliability figure was disclosed.
