GPT-6.1 Sol was released as an update aimed at coding and professional tasks, priced at one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra's token costs while approaching its performance on several evaluations. Codex gained cloud-based execution, a voice-enabled CLI with an /agents interface, automated code review for GitHub/GitLab, and a Security Cloud for repository scanning. A new Decisions API (limited preview) uses the smaller Luna model for classification and routing tasks. ChatGPT's plugin system was expanded with sidebar experiences, interactive panels, and MCP Events support, alongside persistent agents called Dots and a shared workspace called ChatGPT Space. Developer reactions were mixed, with some praising the practical additions and others questioning whether they significantly advance beyond existing agent platforms. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is GPT-6.1 Sol and how does its pricing compare to GPT-6 Astra? GPT-6.1 Sol is an OpenAI model update aimed at coding, computer use, and professional tasks, released at OpenAI DevDay 2026. It approaches GPT-6 Astra's performance on several evaluations while costing one-fifth of Astra's standard input and output token prices, with cached input priced at $0.10 per million tokens. It's available via the API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex. _Developers picking a model for cost versus quality trade-offs can track pricing shifts like this on daily.dev._ ### Can OpenAI's Agents API control a graphical interface like a human would? Yes, the Agents API now supports computer use, letting applications operate software through graphical interfaces. It also includes multi-agent capabilities from Codex, tool search, tool calling, and context compaction, with OpenAI managing the underlying execution infrastructure. It's available through the API and in Codex and ChatGPT Work for selected plans. _Teams evaluating agent frameworks for GUI automation can follow capability changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Can OpenAI Codex run tasks in the cloud instead of only locally? Yes, Codex now runs in cloud environments in addition to local machines, letting developers start remote tasks from other devices. The Codex CLI also gained voice input and an /agents interface for delegating and monitoring multiple tasks, plus a code-review workflow for GitHub pull requests and GitLab merge requests, and Codex Security Cloud for scanning repositories and preparing fixes. _Developers shifting coding workflows to cloud-based agents can keep up with Codex updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI launches GPT-6 Sol and Luna, boasting lower cost and fewer mistakes](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-launches-gpt-6-sol-and-luna-boasting-lower-cost-and-fewer-mistakes-7fzpvatba) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [OpenAI gives 100,000 scientists free AI, and shows how](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-gives-100-000-scientists-free-ai-and-shows-how-pyma6bja0) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [OpenAI Releases GPT-5.3-Codex, a New Codex Model for Agent-Style Development](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-releases-gpt-5-3-codex-a-new-codex-model-for-agent-style-development-mwmmmuuiv) · Laravel News · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#chatgpt](https://daily.dev/tags/chatgpt), [#openai-codex](https://daily.dev/tags/openai-codex) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-devday-2026-recap-for-developers-d3ltud21y) ```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 DevDay 2026 Recap for Developers","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-devday-2026-recap-for-developers-d3ltud21y","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-devday-2026-recap-for-developers-d3ltud21y"},"datePublished":"2026-10-02T10:41:20.704Z","dateModified":"2026-10-02T16:17:05.273Z","description":"OpenAI's DevDay 2026 introduced a batch of developer-facing updates: the Agents API now supports computer use (letting apps operate software through GUIs) plus...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/155c33f2d22dd7c40097e2cf51228d6c?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/155c33f2d22dd7c40097e2cf51228d6c?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"InfoQ","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":"InfoQ","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/afc3bced3e1e4b188dd9127017a60e0c","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-devday-2026-recap-for-developers-d3ltud21y","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,openai,chatgpt,openai-codex","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"InfoQ","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"OpenAI DevDay 2026 Recap for Developers"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-devday-2026-recap-for-developers-d3ltud21y#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is GPT-6.1 Sol and how does its pricing compare to GPT-6 Astra?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"GPT-6.1 Sol is an OpenAI model update aimed at coding, computer use, and professional tasks, released at OpenAI DevDay 2026.
