The company said users should feel the effect within 2 hours, though the author has not yet verified the claim.\n\nThe update also marks a shift for Claude Cowork, which will begin running in a cloud environment from October 6th (US time). Each session will be sandboxed in a virtual workspace, reducing local resource usage and file‑deletion risk.\n\nOther items include Google Drive and Docs adding native Markdown support, Cognition’s Devin gaining a “Dreaming” memory‑graph feature, and a rumored quiet release of Nano Banana 2.1 to Google Flow. The article also notes a 33% drop in Japanese voice‑input errors for Aqua Voice and a new Audible feature that lets users talk to book characters.","keyPoints":["OpenAI’s 28‑Day update raises GPT‑6 Astra and GPT‑6.1 Sol speed by about 50%","Claude Cowork will run in a cloud sandbox from Oct 6th US time","Google Drive and Docs now support previewing and editing .md files directly"],"whyItMatters":"Speed improvements and cloud migration make GPT‑6 more usable for developers and non‑engineers, while Markdown support in Google tools eases AI‑generated content collaboration.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Google","Cognition","Audible"],"models":["GPT‑6 Astra","GPT‑6.1 Sol","Claude Cowork","Devin","Nano Banana 2.1","Orca Agent Search 2.0"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-05T17:29:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T17:29:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"note.com","title":"GPT-6 Astra/6.1 Sol speed up 50%!
