✅ GPT-6.1 Sol is out, just a week after GPT-6 Sol. OpenAI promises "near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price."

✅ Sam Altman also announced Dots: an OpenClaw-style autonomous agent with a friendly interface. It has its own cloud computer, connects to 4,000+ apps and gradually learns your habits to get things done before you even ask.

Over time, the agent learns your habits and work style and, in theory, should anticipate what you want and get things done before you even ask.

✅ Codex in the cloud: you can now run the agent in the cloud from any device, even your phone, so there's no need to keep your laptop half-open anymore.

✅ Plugins: OpenAI is opening up the platform it uses to build ChatGPT's own features to third-party developers. With it, developers can build full-fledged apps right inside ChatGPT, you'll be able to pin them to the sidebar and use them next to the chat.

✅ ChatGPT Space: a shared space where people and AI agents can work together as a team.

✅ There's now a $500/month Pro plan with higher limits and access to Astra Ultrafast, which runs up to 8x faster than standard GPT-6 Astra.
