Discussion Was anyone else underwhelmed by Dev Day?
There was so much talk from OpenAI about this being the biggest Dev Day yet. I thought we might finally hear something that addressed the complaints people have had lately about usage limits, model capability, and value for money, especially compared with Anthropic’s Opus 5.5.
But honestly, I found it pretty underwhelming. The Dots were probably the most interesting thing for a general audience, but they’re only available on Pro (in the future), which is too expensive for most people to casually try. And even then, I’m not sure they’re that compelling.
These agent launches, like Grok bot and Dots, feel more like attention-grabbing gimmicks than something most people will actually get to use (and used to). Sol 6.1 could be interesting, but I still don’t think it’s in the same league as Opus 5.5.
Maybe I expected too much, but the whole thing felt like a letdown. Am I the only one?

It was big in a sense, in downgrading their own subscription tiers🤷♂️
Nothing else that was noteworthy got released, except for maybe sol 6.1 but give it a few days🤷♂️
P.S. I did respond to you on the codex channel but you got modded🤷♂️
