OpenAI launches "dots," always-on AI agents that work on their own cloud computers
Per OpenAI's own announcement, dots run on GPT-6 Astra and are rolling out in ChatGPT to Pro and Business Premium users in eligible markets, handling tasks like debugging Slack bugs, turning designs into working apps, and keeping planning cycles on track without being re-prompted. GPT-6.1 Sol, also announced at the event, offers "near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price," with cached input at $0.10 per million tokens.

OpenAI's DevDay 2026 keynote is today, with rumors pointing at a persistent AI agent codenamed "Aeon"
OpenAI posted a 12-second "Get ready." teaser overnight, and Sam Altman separately wrote he's "pretty excited for DevDay tomorrow [today] — we have found a new thing." The Verge reports persistent rumors of an agent called Aeon, OpenAI's answer to Meta's Muse and Grok Bot, alongside unconfirmed chatter about a Jony Ive hardware update and a possible GPT-6 Astra refresh. None of this is confirmed by OpenAI itself yet — the keynote hasn't happened as of this briefing.
