OpenAI Dev Day: Key Announcements

Personal AI agents: Dots

• OpenAI announced Dots, paid personal agents powered by GPT-6 Astra.
• In the demo, Sam Altman asked his agent, Alfred, to remove an old inventory API. It traced dependencies, updated integrations, ran tests, and created pull requests.
• The video jokes about the risks of AI-generated code and notes that the live demo struggled.
• The service costs $100 per month and requires a Pro subscription.

New pricing and models

• Pro 500 costs $500 per month, offering 25 times the usual ChatGPT Plus usage and access to Ultrafast, which runs Astra at 300 tokens per second.
• Ultrafast API pricing is $60 per million input tokens and $300 per million output tokens.
• The $200 plan returned with its usage allowance cut in half.
• GPT-6.1 Soul offers near-Astra intelligence at one-fifth the price: $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

Decisions API

• The new Decisions API uses the small Luna model to select from a fixed list of answers.
• It aims to return results in milliseconds, avoiding the parsing and retry problems that can come with asking a general-purpose model for JSON.
• The video says this resembles a recently released product from Type-Safe AI.

Other announcements

• OpenAI introduced Pages, a Google Docs-like tool; Space, a Notion-like tool; and a Slack bot.
• Sign in with ChatGPT lets users log into partner apps and use their own ChatGPT tokens. Launch partners include Devin, Notion, Vercel, and OpenClaw.
• The video cautions that successful partner products could eventually be copied by OpenAI.

Sponsor segment

• Fastly Labs promoted Gliner 2.5 Decide, an open-weight model for fast local classification, and Glide, which it says performs better than Jev on several evaluation tasks.
• The sponsor segment emphasizes running models locally and owning their weights.
