Tibo Sottiaux: Millions of Dots Will Go Live in Days

OpenAI core product head Tibo Sottiaux stated that millions of dots will be online simultaneously in a few days, processing various tasks in parallel among a large and diverse user base. The team will first observe how each person uses their main dot before opening up to form entire dot teams.

Dots are designed to run around the clock, capable of continuous learning based on feedback, equipped with independent computers and browsers, and can connect to over 4,000 applications within the ecosystem. The driving model is Astra, with the main dot included in the Pro package and not consuming regular quotas, allowing users to call it directly while they work. Coverage includes Pro, Business Premium, Enterprise, and Pro 100, with the official statement indicating plans to continue expanding access.

Sottiaux mentioned that he experienced a significant improvement after using it for 2 to 3 days, provided he continuously taught it his personal preferences and ongoing thoughts. He assessed that the system learns quickly and can independently handle unexpectedly difficult tasks while collecting feedback on "which experiences are magical and which are not enough."

He clarified that the main dot is included in the package and can be online 24 hours a day; if a dot is tasked with creating Codex tasks, those tasks will still deduct from the quota as per original rules; however, direct work done by the dot does not consume additional package usage. Future speed increases and bandwidth expansions will be paid options, but basic capabilities will remain tied to existing packages. The new Codex Cloud will launch simultaneously, with the Agents API entering preview and supporting computer operations, using the same technology that drives cloud-based intelligent agents, including dots.

ChatGPT Space will also be released concurrently, allowing users to collaboratively edit real-time visual notes, to-do lists, product plans, and meeting minutes with others and dots in the same space, with automatic background synchronization. The developer side is described as taking AGENTS.md a step further. Community notes indicate that dots will be rolled out in batches according to qualified markets, with Pro not initially available in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, meaning not all paying users will have immediate access.

In terms of market mechanism, this is an event-driven supply expansion: OpenAI exchanges permanently resident intelligent agents included in packages for real task data and preference training, first deploying millions of main dots, then deciding when to open up multi-agent formations. Demand comes from already paying Pro and enterprise seats, while supply consists of computing power, cloud environments, and application connection points. Beneficiaries are paying users who can embed preferences into continuously online agents, as well as OpenAI, which consolidates ChatGPT and Codex into a single entry point; those under pressure include pay-per-use coding agents, assistant products lacking independent computing environments, and users excluded from the initial market rollout.
