New product launches include an always-on agent resembling Grok's 'dots'/Muse (which flopped live due to alleged Wi-Fi issues), a Decision API classifier model that can handle images but isn't available for another week, and a Notion-like 'Spaces' product. Also noted: SpaceX reportedly grabbed the dots.com domain before OpenAI, redirecting traffic to Grok, a 'sign in with ChatGPT' token-sharing feature for third-party apps, and GLM 5.3 Flash and Kimi K2 being served natively within Codex against OpenAI's compute commitment. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed with OpenAI's $200 a month Pro plan usage limits announced around Dev Day? OpenAI cut the usage multiplier on its existing $200/month plan from 20x to 10x, claiming the underlying models are twice as efficient to offset the reduction. A new $500/month plan was introduced offering 25x usage along with an 'ultrafast' mode that runs about eight times faster but costs roughly six times more, capable of consuming a week's usage in 40 to 100 minutes of continuous agent runtime. _Developers tracking subscription changes before they get billed can follow pricing shifts like this one on daily.dev._ ### Is the unlimited usage offer for OpenAI's dots agent actually unlimited? No, the unlimited usage promotion for the dots agent only applies for one month, and any task the agent delegates to another agent still incurs additional charges beyond that free period. The fine print undercuts the initial impression that usage would be unlimited going forward. _Anyone evaluating new agent products should check daily.dev for the real terms behind flashy usage promotions._ ### Why did SpaceX end up owning the dots.com domain instead of OpenAI? SpaceX reportedly purchased the dots.com domain before OpenAI could secure it for its new always-on agent product, at an alleged cost of $20 million, meaning visitors typing dots.com get redirected to Grok's chatbot instead of OpenAI's new offering. _Developers curious about competitive maneuvering in AI product launches can follow the fallout on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI’s new $100 tier targets developers hitting Codex \(and Claude Code\) limits](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-new-100-tier-targets-developers-hitting-codex-and-claude-code-limits-a63cw44kk) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [OpenAI Pricing in 2026 for Individuals, Orgs & Developers](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-pricing-in-2026-for-individuals-orgs-developers-aeizgj8sw) · finout · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#openai-codex](https://daily.dev/tags/openai-codex) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-dev-day-being-rough-oga7noamg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenAI Dev Day being rough","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-dev-day-being-rough-oga7noamg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-dev-day-being-rough-oga7noamg"},"datePublished":"2026-10-03T04:04:15.631Z","dateModified":"2026-10-03T21:44:37.292Z","description":"A snarky recap of OpenAI's Dev Day covers the surprise change to the $200/month plan, which drops from 20x usage to 10x (with a new $500/month 25x plan...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p0fybvFyOlM/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p0fybvFyOlM/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"ThePrimeTime","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ThePrimeTime","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--J5-GjDeo--/f_auto/v1704628081/logos/primeagen.jpg","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/primeagen"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-dev-day-being-rough-oga7noamg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":3},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,openai,openai-codex","timeRequired":"PT13M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"OpenAI Dev Day being rough","description":"A snarky recap of OpenAI's Dev Day covers the surprise change to the $200/month plan, which drops from 20x usage to 10x (with a new $500/month 25x plan...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p0fybvFyOlM/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-10-03T04:04:15.631Z","duration":"PT13M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/OGa7noAMG","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/p0fybvFyOlM"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"ThePrimeTime","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/primeagen"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"OpenAI Dev Day being rough"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-dev-day-being-rough-oga7noamg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What changed with OpenAI's $200 a month Pro plan usage limits announced around Dev Day?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"OpenAI cut the usage multiplier on its existing $200/month plan from 20x to 10x, claiming the underlying models are twice as efficient to offset the reduction.
