Delahuntagram · x · 2026-10-02
Tae Kim argues the personal AI agents shipped this month mark a paradigm shift in computing.
- OpenAI DevDay: GPT-6.1 Sol claims near-Astra capabilities at 20% of the cost; Sam Altman calls it the fastest-growing model release ever
- ChatGPT Space: a Google Docs-meets-Notion workspace where colleagues and their agents co-edit documents; slides coming later
- Dots: an always-on assistant powered by GPT-6 Astra, each with a cloud computer, arriving three weeks after Meta's Muse; it can read email/calendar/Slack to suggest priorities and book travel
- After trying Dots, Muse, and Instinct, the author is convinced personal agents will spark the next AI wave
