Summary
OpenAI’s Dev Day centered on persistent agents, and this video from Theoretically Media walks through the biggest announcements and asks the question on everyone’s mind: what will it cost you?
The headline launch is Dots, always-on agents that work for you around the clock. Each Dot gets its own virtual machine and browser, can write and test code, and can be reached through ChatGPT, Slack, Teams, or voice calls. The video compares Dots to OpenClaw, whose creator Peter Steinberger joined OpenAI in February, and to Meta’s Muse, which recently topped the US App Store. It also covers Spaces, OpenAI’s collaborative workspace for teams and their agents, and raises questions about the walled-garden approach to user data.
The second half turns to models and pricing. GPT 6.1 Soul arrives as a much cheaper alternative to the withheld Astra model, while a new Ultrafast tier promises around 300 tokens per second. Plan changes include a new $500 Pro tier with 25 times the usage of Plus, a returning $200 tier, and a new $100 tier. Dots are limited to Pro, Business, Premium, and Enterprise plans. The host also shares hands-on impressions and a measured take on what the changes mean for everyday subscribers.
