DevDay 2026 Recap

PUBLISHER ARTICLE PREVIEW

From the original article

At DevDay 2026, we’re giving people more ways to take on ambitious work and tools to build what comes next.

DevDay 2026 is our biggest yet, with more than 20 major announcements across ChatGPT, Codex, our models, and entirely new forms of working with AI.

We believe AI can help bring about a new renaissance of creativity and discovery. It should give people more time for what matters to them, more freedom to pursue their ideas, and the ability to do things they didn’t think were possible.

Today, we introduced agents that can take on ongoing responsibilities and new ways for people and AI to work together. We also expanded our commitment to an open ecosystem by opening up ChatGPT as a shared surface where humans and agents can collaborate and where developers can directly launch new native experiences to our collective 1.2B weekly users.

Dots are remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything. They’re a whole new way to work with AI—one that gets to know what matters to you, is always working on your behalf, and takes important work off your plate so you get more of your time and attention back.

Available on Pro and Business Premium in eligible markets. Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare users can try the beta when their workspace admin enables it; it is off by default. Learn more⁠

We’re introducing GPT‑6.1 Sol, a major upgrade to GPT‑6 Sol with exceptionally strong performance on agentic coding, along with computer use, and professional work. It delivers near-Astra intelligence to everyone at a fifth of its standard input and output token prices, giving developers more flexibility to execute complex workflows within the same budget.

Available to all API, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users. Learn more⁠

Ultrafast is our premium speed tier for workloads where speed matters most. Ultrafast offers up to 8× faster token generation (300 tokens per second) in Codex and up to 6x in the API.

GPT‑6 Astra Ultrafast is available today in the API⁠ and in ChatGPT Work and Codex⁠ on Pro 500 and Enterprise plans. GPT‑6.1 Sol Ultrafast is coming soon.

OpenAI Private Intelligence helps businesses use frontier AI with greater confidence that their data is protected. Zero Data Retention with Private Safety Processing⁠ enables automated safety reviews without giving OpenAI personnel access to the underlying content. Our preview of Private Inference, coming this fall, combines confidential computing with strict, verifiable controls.

Now developers can run Codex wherever they need it: on a computer, remotely from a phone, or in the cloud from any device. Reusable development environments help tasks start quickly and give your team a shared setup with approved settings and permissions.

The Codex CLI now lets you start and steer tasks with your voice. The new /agents view makes it easier to delegate work and track multiple tasks at once. We’ve also improved everyday workflows to help you edit prompts, resume sessions, and use worktrees, while a cleaner
