Redditor finds OpenAI Dev Day underwhelming: Dots feel like gimmicks, Sol 6.1 trails Opus 5.5
LinkSudah · reddit · 2026-09-30
A Reddit user calls OpenAI's heavily hyped Dev Day a letdown:
- None of the community's pain points — usage limits, model capability, value for money vs Anthropic's Opus 5.5 — were addressed
- The Dots agents, the most audience-friendly announcement, will be Pro-only and too expensive to casually try, and may not be that compelling anyway
- New agent launches like Grok bot and Dots feel like attention-grabbing gimmicks most people won't actually use
- Sol 6.1 could be interesting but isn't in the same league as Opus 5.5, the author argues
