OpenAI unveils GPT-6.1 Sol and Agents API at DevDay 2026
OpenAI announced three key updates at its DevDay 2026 event on October 4. The most notable is GPT-6.1 Sol, a coding-focused model priced at one-fifth the cost of previous high-performance models like GPT-6 Astra while delivering comparable performance. This shift challenges the industry norm that advanced AI tools must be expensive to justify, potentially lowering barriers for businesses and…
Key points
- GPT-6.1 Sol costs one-fifth less than GPT-6 Astra but matches its coding performance, per OpenAI
- Agents API will support PC operations via cloud-based environments like Codex, announced at DevDay 2026
- ChatGPT’s new plugins enable deeper integrations with external services, though specifics are not yet detailed
The event also introduced computer-use support for the Agents API, enabling AI agents to interact with cloud-based environments like Codex. Additionally, ChatGPT gained new plugin features for deeper service integrations, allowing automated workflows across external tools. While the Agents API and plugins are not yet live, OpenAI’s roadmap suggests a future where AI can autonomously handle tasks like file processing, data analysis, and campaign execution—reducing manual intervention. The focus is on making AI more self-sufficient, though early adoption may require trial and error.
