OpenAI发布dots：基于GPT-6 Astra的常驻AI Agent
OpenAI Launches dots: Always-On GPT-6 Astra Agents That Work From Their Own Cloud Computers
Agent形态的重大演进，独立云主机与常驻能力是核心看点，建议开发者关注其安全机制与插件生态。
OpenAI just introduced dots at their DevDay today. Dots are persistent AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Each dot gets its own cloud computer and browser. It works across 4,000+ apps through ChatGPT plugins and keeps going after you log off.
OpenAI 今天在 DevDay 上推出了 Dots。Dots 是由 GPT-6 Astra 驱动的持久化 AI 智能体。每个 Dot 都拥有自己的云端计算机和浏览器。它通过 ChatGPT 插件在 4,000 多个应用中运行，并在你登出后继续工作。
Is it deployable today? Yes, as a managed product. Dots are rolling out in ChatGPT for Pro and Business Premium users in eligible markets. Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces get a beta once an admin turns it on. There is no self-hosted or open-weights option.
今天可以部署吗？可以，作为托管产品使用。Dots 正在向符合条件的市场中的 Pro 和 Business Premium 用户的 ChatGPT 推出。企业、教育和医疗工作空间在管理员开启功能后可获得 Beta 版体验。目前没有自托管或开放权重选项。
What is a dot
什么是 Dot
A dot turns ChatGPT from a request and response loop into a standing assignment. You give it a goal, a name and boundaries. It then pursues that goal around the clock and learns from your feedback. Each user starts with 1 primary dot.
Dot 将 ChatGPT 从请求与响应的循环转变为常驻任务。你赋予它目标、名称和边界。然后它会全天候追求该目标，并从你的反馈中学习。每个用户初始拥有一个主要 Dot。
To be honest, much of this was already possible with Codex and similar agent harnesses. The change here is packaging: 1 persistent agent, 1 identity, 1 dedicated machine.
老实说，使用 Codex 和类似的智能体框架，许多功能已经可以实现。这里的改变在于打包方式：1 个持久化智能体、1 个身份标识、1 台专用机器。
How a dot works
Dot 的工作原理
- Own computer: Each dot runs on a separate cloud computer with a browser. Your laptop stays isolated unless you connect it. You can open the dot’s computer at any time to inspect its work.
- Tools: It uses the plugins you connect across 4,000+ apps. It can also start tasks in Codex and ChatGPT Work for research, analysis, documents and software.
- Surfaces: You can message or call your dot in ChatGPT on web, desktop and mobile. Slack and Teams are supported, and texting is coming soon.
- Proactive research: When you are not working with it, the dot looks for ways to help. In this background mode, connected apps are read-only, so it cannot send messages or change content.
- 专属计算机：每个 Dot 都在独立的云端计算机上运行，并配有浏览器。除非你进行连接，否则你的笔记本电脑保持隔离状态。你可以随时打开 Dot 的计算机以检查其工作成果。
- 工具：它使用你在 4,000 多个应用中连接的插件。它还可以在 Codex 和 ChatGPT Work 中启动任务，用于研究、分析、文档处理和软件开发。
- 交互界面：你可以在网页端、桌面端和移动端的 ChatGPT 中与 Dot 发消息或通话。支持 Slack 和 Teams，短信功能即将推出。
- 主动研究：当你未与其互动时，Dot 会寻找帮助的方式。在此后台模式下，已连接的应用程序处于只读状态，因此它无法发送消息或更改内容。
The model underneath is also important to know. In OpenAI’s latency simulations, GPT-6 Astra scores 72.6% on OSWorld 2.0 at roughly 40 minutes per task. GPT-5.6 Sol scored 65.7% at roughly 75 minutes.
底层模型也值得了解。在 OpenAI 的延迟模拟中，GPT-6 Astra 在 OSWorld 2.0 上的得分率为 72.6%，每任务耗时约 40 分钟。GPT-5.6 Sol 的得分率为 65.7%，每任务耗时约 75 分钟。
Control and safety layer
控制与安全层
- Built-in rules decide when a dot acts alone and when it asks for approval.
- Custom Rules let you allow, block or require approval for specific actions.
- Auto-review checks any action that could affect your accounts or share information.
- Activity View shows progress, including background work, so you can redirect the dot.
- Credential handling: Dots sign in with saved passwords without exposing them to the model. Sensitive tasks, such as changing a password, stay with you.
- Monitoring can pause or stop a dot if it detects a safety concern.
- 内置规则决定 Dot 何时独立行动，何时请求批准。
- 自定义规则允许你针对特定操作设置允许、阻止或要求批准。
- 自动审查会检查任何可能影响你的账户或共享信息的操作。
- 活动视图显示进度，包括后台工作，以便你重新引导 Dot 的方向。
- 凭据处理：Dot 使用保存的密码登录，而不会将这些密码暴露给模型。敏感任务（如更改密码）仍由你亲自处理。
- 如果监控检测到安全问题，可以暂停或停止 Dot。
OpenAI details this in a separate safety post. It also states that dots can still make mistakes, so consequential work needs review. The caution is timely. A day before launch, OpenAI team stated that its agents had posted users’ images online, affecting 53 ChatGPT users.
OpenAI 在单独的安全博客文章中对此进行了详细说明。文章还指出，智能体（dots）仍可能犯错，因此重要工作需经过审查。这一警告恰逢其时。在发布前一天，OpenAI 团队表示其智能体已将用户的图片发布到网上，影响了 53 名 ChatGPT 用户。
Specialist dots for organizations
面向组织的专用智能体
OpenAI is also previewing specialist dots. Each gets its own identity, credentials and access to company systems for a fixed role. OpenAI tested them internally across procurement, invoice processing, email marketing, customer support and commercial contracting. Rollout starts with enterprise pilots. OpenAI is working with Microsoft to bring specialist dots to Agent 365.
OpenAI 还在预览专用智能体。每个智能体拥有独立的身份、凭证以及针对固定角色的公司系统访问权限。OpenAI 已在内部对采购、发票处理、电子邮件营销、客户支持和商业合同等领域进行了测试。首批部署将从企业试点开始。OpenAI 正与微软合作，将专用智能体引入 Agent 365。
Pricing and usage limits
定价和使用限制
The first dot is included in Pro and Business Premium plans at no extra cost. Conversations with a dot do not count toward ChatGPT usage limits. Tasks it starts in Codex or ChatGPT Work do count. OpenAI also added a $500 paid tier the same day. Check the ChatGPT pricing page for current plan limits.
第一个智能体包含在 Pro 和 Business Premium 计划中，无需额外付费。与智能体的对话不计入 ChatGPT 的使用限额。但它在 Codex 或 ChatGPT Work 中启动的任务会计入限额。OpenAI 同一天还推出了 500 美元的付费层级。请查看 ChatGPT 定价页面以获取当前计划的限额信息。
