OpenAI has launched Dots, persistent cloud agents designed to interact with over 4,000 applications via a plugin ecosystem. These agents run on the GPT-6 Astra model, with a focus on the economic viability of always-on workloads. The company also introduced GPT-6.1 Sol, offering comparable performance to Astra at a significantly lower cost, and an Ultrafast tier for enhanced speed. Dots are available at no extra charge for Pro and Business Premium subscribers, providing a low-risk entry point for testing persistent agent functionalities. AI
