OpenAI's September 29 DevDay brought GPT-6.1 Sol, Dots, computer use in the Agents API, and new ways to build and collaborate inside ChatGPT. For education and research, the announcements connect more affordable models with longer-running work and shared artifacts. Anthropic's newly released Sonnet 5.5 and Gemini's existing learning tools provide useful comparisons, while preview status, permissions, and evidence of independent learning remain essential distinctions.
