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.
