OpenAI launches persistent Dots agents, Meta connects Muse to the small-business stack, and new safety initiatives arrive from Nvidia, Washington, and Anthropic.
OpenAI used its Dev Day conference to push beyond the chatbot and toward always-on digital labor.
The company introduced DOTS, agents that can keep working in the background on ongoing projects.
Each DOT gets its own cloud computer and can connect with outside apps through plugins.
Users can inspect the agent's work, set permissions, and require approval for certain actions.
OpenAI says DOTs are beginning to roll out to pro, business premium, and enterprise users in eligible markets.
That matters because the competitive question is shifting.
Model quality still matters, but distribution, permissions, and persistent work are becoming the product.
For business leaders, the practical test will be whether an agent can handle real workflows without creating unacceptable security or review burdens.
The company says the model improves on GPT-6 Sol across coding, document work, computer use, and multi-step business workflows.
Standard API pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
OpenAI says that gives developers capabilities approaching its higher-end Astra model at a substantially lower cost.
