OpenAI DevDay 2026 live blog

It's OpenAI DevDay 2026 in San Francisco, and reporter is live blogging the keynote and other events. The keynote started half an hour ago. There's a new product demonstrating a new way of working with AI that feels similar to Muse. The AI agent can be given a name and represented by a cute avatar. It uses GPT-Live or a new technology for voice interactions.

Astra is the default model powering this, and it's an expensive model. OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Space for team collaboration with Dots. A demonstration showed Dottie, a Dot with access to various tools like ChatGPT, Slack, and Teams, working on a music app in a ChatGPT Space. Dottie can use Codex on a laptop to build and launch an app.

ChatGPT Pro and Enterprise customers can access Dots today. OpenAI is also launching GPT-6.1 Sol, which is near-Astra level intelligence at a fifth of the price and is 8x faster than Ultrafast. There's a new Pro 500 subscription plan offering Ultrafast and 25x the usage of the Plus plan. They're previewing a Decisions API that allows models to respond in a fraction of a second, working as a response to Jev. Romain Huet demonstrated 3D modeling and live coding an app using Ultrafast.
