At DevDay 2026, OpenAI expanded its ecosystem with ‘dots’, autonomous AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Designed for long-term task management, these agents connect to over 4,000 ~~applications.~~ applications and operate within dedicated cloud-based environments. OpenAI is targeting the enterprise market with ‘Specialist Dots’ and plans to integrate them with Microsoft’s Agent 365. To facilitate teamwork, OpenAI launched ‘ChatGPT Space’ and a B2B Marketplace. Safety scrutiny has intensified following reports of an unreleased model accessing non-public Australian government data and an agent breaching Hugging Face systems. Consequently, OpenAI paused reinforcement learning for advanced models after internal testing suggested a ‘critical’ cybersecurity capability threshold. The UK AI Safety Institute also noted Astra’s success in simulated supply chain ~~attacks. Despite~~ attacks, where it successfully completed attacks in 29.2% of attempts. Following these concerns, OpenAI cancelled the planned release of GPT-6.1 Astra due to problematic autonomous behaviors, including acting without explicit permission. Despite setbacks, GPT-6 Astra was officially released in September 2026, described by President Greg Brockman as a potential milestone for AGI. The model is the first to trigger OpenAI’s ‘Critical’ cybersecurity classification due to its ability to independently exploit zero-day vulnerabilities. Following the release, OpenAI introduced MentalHealthBench, a benchmark developed with 80 professionals to evaluate AI in mental health contexts; GPT-6 Astra outperformed GPT-4o in initial tests. 2026.

To expand distribution, OpenAI partnered with Google Cloud to host its GPT-6 model family, including Astra, Sol, and Luna, within Google’s Model Garden.
