# OpenAI DevDay: dots and GPT-6.1 Sol

OpenAI launches always-on agents and a cheaper flagship.


- [OpenAI launches dots, always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104984504133918973) (OpenAI, release, Agents): Each dot is a persistent agent with its own cloud computer, your plugins and your context, working in the background. It's OpenAI's entry into always-on personal and work agents.
- [GPT-6.1 Sol offers near-Astra intelligence at a fifth of the price](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2104986129686741046) (OpenAI, release, Models): OpenAI's new cost-efficient model narrows the gap between flagship quality and price, which matters most for agents that run all day.
