This year, always-on agents (Dots) aimed at developers, builders,\u00a0and tinkerers grabbed the most attention. Other\u00a0features announced on stage included\u00a0new tools related to Codex and APIs, GPT-6.1 Sol, new plugin extensions for ChatGPT, a collaboration space (ChatGPT Space) for teams and their agents, and changes to\u00a0ChatGPT subscriptions including a new high-usage tier (Pro 500) and Ultrafast premium speed option.<\/p>\n<p>While last year\u2019s DevDay included a fireside chat with Jony Ive to remind people that OpenAI HW was still coming (in 2027), no such announcement<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>This article is available exclusively to Above Avalon members. <\/strong>Become a member using the payment forms ($20\/month or $200\/year) below.
