OpenAI broadens ChatGPT platform with Dots and Sol
OpenAI has unveiled always-on Dots agents and GPT-6.1 Sol while expanding ChatGPT’s developer ecosystem, pushing the service further from a conversational assistant towards a platform where users can discover and run third-party tools.

On September 29, OpenAI revealed new features for its ChatGPT platform during its DevDay event in San Francisco. The updates include always-on Dots agents powered by GPT-6 Astra, as well as an enhanced model called GPT-6.1 Sol. Dots agents are persistent and can continue working between conversations, use their own cloud computer and browser, and access approved connected applications.
Users can set ongoing goals for Dots and specify the applications they need, as well as the level of independence the agents should have. These agents are being gradually rolled out to eligible accounts and can maintain progress across continuing assignments. OpenAI emphasizes the importance of security and permissions, allowing users to define action boundaries and review consequential steps.
GPT-6.1 Sol is a reasoning model designed for coding, computer use, and professional work, offering performance close to GPT-6 Astra at lower pricing. The model has a 1.05-million-token context window and supports up to 128,000 output tokens. OpenAI also introduced ChatGPT Space, a collaborative environment for users and AI to work on shared material, and expanded ChatGPT Work across devices.
The Agents API was placed in public beta with hosted execution, memory, tools, and multi-agent support.
