OpenAI released new Codex features, adding reusable cloud development environments, a refreshed CLI, and a code-review interface that streamlines collaboration. It also introduced “Dots,” always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that users can control via ChatGPT, Slack, Teams, and iMessage. Additionally, OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Sol, a cost-effective model that matches Astra’s coding performance at one-fifth the price.
- The Next Web·OpenAI’s agents can now run entirely inside Amazon’s cloud
OpenAI and Amazon launched Bedrock Managed Agents, allowing OpenAI agents to run entirely inside AWS with data never leaving the cloud. The managed runtime handles inference, memory, and skills on Amazon Bedrock, while each agent logs actions for auditing and uses AgentCore as the default compute environment. Salesforce is a customer, and the Agents API now supports computer use, multi-agent tools, and browser interactions with user-approved sites.
- TechCrunch·OpenAI’s latest features take direct aim at the app store model
OpenAI is transforming ChatGPT into a central hub for software discovery and execution, allowing users to launch and interact with third-party apps directly within chat conversations. Through a new enterprise marketplace and expanded plugin architecture, developers can build AI-native tools while users leverage existing AI allowances to access services from partners like Adobe and Salesforce.
