OpenAI Unveils 'Dots' Agents, Anthropic's IPO Prospectus Leaks, and U.S. Launches America.gov

OpenAI Unveils 'Dots' Agents, Anthropic's IPO Prospectus Leaks, and U.S. Launches America.gov The latest edition covers major industry movements, led by OpenAI's rollout of always-on agents and new models, a leaked Anthropic IPO filing detailing massive losses alongside existential risk warnings, and the U.S. government's rollout of an AI-powered portal. OpenAI introduced 'dots,' 24/7 cloud-based agents running on GPT-6 Astra that integrate across 4,000 apps including Slack and Teams. A leaked IPO prospectus reveals Anthropic grew revenue 12x in 2025 but posted a $42B overall loss and holds $518B in cloud commitments while warning of existential AI risks. The Trump administration launched America.gov, an AI portal using Gemini and Grok to answer citizen queries, aiming for automated form filing by 2027. OpenAI introduced the cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol model and an Ultrafast tier, but cancelled the release of GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns. OpenAI Launches Dots and Expands DevDay Lineup OpenAI unveiled 'dots,' always-on agents capable of running 24/7 in the cloud and connecting to over 4,000 applications. Powered by GPT-6 Astra, dots can operate in Slack, Teams, and ChatGPT without deducting from ChatGPT usage limits, starting with Pro and Business Premium subscribers. The rollout accompanied more than 20 DevDay updates, including the Decisions API powered by GPT-6 Luna, shared team hubs via ChatGPT Space and Pages, a $500 monthly tier featuring Ultrafast Codex modes, and the GPT-6.1 Sol model priced at $2/$10 per million tokens. Concurrently, head of safety systems Saachi Jain confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that OpenAI cancelled the upcoming GPT-6.1 Astra release due to safety issues. Leaked Filing Details Anthropic's High-Stakes IPO A leaked prospectus obtained by Reuters indicates Anthropic is seeking a valuation exceeding $2 trillion despite substantial financial burn. The Claude developer expanded revenue 12-fold in 2025 but experienced an $8 billion operational loss and a $42 billion total loss, alongside $518 billion in future infrastructure obligations. Nearly one-third of the prospectus addresses risk factors, cautioning that future systems could exhibit blackmail, manipulation, or self-preservation, while also noting that almost a quarter of 2025 revenue came from only two clients. Federal Government Introduces America.gov Chatbot The Trump administration launched America.gov as an AI-powered front door to federal agencies, designed to spare citizens from navigating sprawling official websites. Led by U.S. chief design officer Joe Gebbia, the initial deployment answers questions using official data via Google's Gemini and SpaceXAI's Grok. Plans call for agentic workflows by early 2027 to automate administrative tasks like Medicare enrollment and direct online passport renewals with user-uploaded photos. Industry Quick Hits President Donald Trump announced an executive order rebranding artificial intelligence as 'super intelligence.' Meta rolled out small-business capabilities for its Muse agent across Shopify, Stripe, and QuickBooks with mandatory owner approval safeguards. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV stated he is not in panic mode over AI yet cautioned against dismissing expert warnings, and xAI introduced Team Bots that can be shared across organizational teams.

**Read Online** ^| ^{Sign Up} ^| ^Advertise **Good morning, {{ first\_name | AI enthusiasts }}, and welcome to the 5,480 new readers who joined us yesterday.** The always-on AI agent category has gotten pretty crowded this summer. OpenAI is betting the only thing that matters is the best models powering them. Dots, the company's new agents, just headlined a DevDay stuffed with 20+ launches, arriving in a space Grok Bot and Muse have already staked out — but with a model under the hood that neither rival can match (yet). **In today’s AI rundown:** OpenAI puts a 24/7 agent inside ChatGPT Anthropic's doom-heavy IPO filing leaks Get started with ChatGPT dot, OpenAI's new agent The U.S. federal government gets an AI front door **LATEST DEVELOPMENTS** Image source: OpenAI **The Rundown:** OpenAI just [introduced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fls_onRviPM&utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1019) dots, always-on agents like Meta’s Muse that can keep working 24/7 from a cloud computer — leading a 20+ feature DevDay launch slate that also includes GPT-6.1 Sol, shared team workspaces, and an Ultrafast mode. **The details:** Each dot can plug into over 4,000 apps and reply in Slack, Teams, or ChatGPT, with conversations that don’t count against ChatGPT usage plans. The agents run on GPT-6 Astra, with a user’s first dot included with Pro and Business Premium plans to start, and access expanding later on. GPT-6.1 Sol costs a fifth of Astra's price at $2/$10 per million tokens, with OAI saying it nears Astra on several benchmarks despite the discount. The new Decisions API has GPT-6 Luna pick from preset answers in \~150 milliseconds, OAI's spin on TypeSafe's Jev model released this month. ChatGPT Space and Pages give teammates and their dots a shared hub and co-edited docs, with @ChatGPT now answering inside Slack and Teams threads too. **Why it matters:** Dots don’t have Muse’s meme-ability, and they feel quite similar to Grok Bot… But they have one major thing working in their favor: frontier models. Always-on agents are proving to be a winning consumer form factor for AI, and plugging them directly into the top models is a differentiator only OAI and Anthropic can leverage. **The Rundown:** Blotato offers unified social media APIs for your AI agents. Easily schedule posts, create Manychat-style DM automations, and automate your social media marketing with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, Muse, or any AI agent. **With Blotato’s unified social API, your AI agents can:** Create content with the latest AI image and video models Schedule posts and manage your content calendar Create DM automations to turn views into sales Image source: Images 2.5 / The Rundown **The Rundown:** Reuters [obtained](https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/anthropics-ipo-prospectus-shows-sweeping-ai-vision-surging-costs-2026-09-28/?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1019) a leaked version of Anthropic's upcoming IPO prospectus, which shows the Claude maker grew revenue 12x in 2025 alongside massive losses — while also warning that its AI could bring “existential risks to humanity.” Anthropic is reportedly targeting a $2T+ valuation, more than double its May mark, despite losing $8B running the business and $42B overall in 2025. The company has locked in $518B in future AI cloud and infrastructure obligations, with its own spending on compute tripling to $7.33B in 2025. In 2025, Anthropic leaned on just two clients for nearly 1/4 of its sales, with many top customers able to also cut spending with no long-term deals in place. Risk factors make up nearly a third of the filing, flagging models that could blackmail, manipulate, or show “self-preserving behaviors.” **Why it matters:** Saturday Night Live [poked fun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nvne3LzBls&utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1019) at Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, and a filing doubling as a safety and doom paper feels straight out of the skit. With Sam Altman saying OAI won't set an IPO date since it's “a time to put safety and mission first,” the lab that warns the loudest about AI is also now the one sprinting to Wall Street first. **The Rundown:** In this guide, you will learn how to set up ChatGPT dot, OpenAI's new always-on agent, getting it started on a morning work brief. (Note: dot is currently rolling out to paid Pro and Business Premium users). **Step-by-step:** Open ChatGPT’s desktop app or web version and follow the dot setup (you can’t create a dot on mobile). Leave local-computer access off for your first test In the mobile app, open Customize → Custom rules and select ‘Ask’ before taking action. Keep sending, publishing, and purchases outside the task Use + to attach project notes (samples in [full guide](https://app.therundown.ai/guides/how-to-use-chatgpt-dot?marketing_source_path=%2Fguides&marketing_placement=content&marketing_click_id=998fbb2d-2885-4f7b-b1e6-5c72351d13f4&utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1019)) and prompt: “Use only \[FILE\] to prepare a morning project brief. Cite the source for each fact. Reply here only” Check facts: owners, dates, and anything it can't confirm. Once a one-off brief passes, ask for a weekday brief at 8:30 AM and manage it under ‘Scheduled’ **Pro tip:** Before scheduling, attach an update that changes a deadline and ask for a revised brief. A smooth first answer tells you little about how your dot handles changes. **The Rundown:** It started with a frustration: you can't hand a teammate your Claude Code session with its full context. Meet Switch, a shared room where 5 devs and 45 agents keep the same history inside platforms like Slack, Teams, and Discord. Now sales, marketing, and PM use it too, and it's open-source. **In this blog, you'll learn how:** Agents keep context instead of starting from zero One agent can collaborate across multiple teams and rooms To bring the agents you already use without migrating or rebuilding Image source: America.gov **The Rundown:** The Trump administration [rolled out](https://america.gov/?utm_source=therundownai.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rundown-1019) America.gov, an AI chatbot "front door" to the federal government that lets citizens ask questions and receive answers from agency websites — eventually enabling actions like filing forms via agentic flows. For now, the platform only answers questions, with AI that can fill out and file forms (passport renewals, Medicare enrollment) aiming to launch by early 2027. Answers draw on official government sources, from national parks to released UFO files, using a mix of Google's Gemini and SpaceXAI's Grok AI models. Marco Rubio previewed a first-time passport flow with self-uploaded photos, promising “no drugstore hostage photo, no appointment, no line.” The platform was led by Airbnb co-founder and U.S. chief design officer Joe Gebbia, pushing for users to "never go back into the maze" of .gov websites. **Why it matters:** If you’ve ever navigated a U.S. government website, you likely understand what a major upgrade the smallest of modernizations can be. While this first rollout is just a chatbot, it’s a very positive start — the major change happens when citizens can actually take action within the site. **QUICK HITS** ▸ **Michael built a map-based beauty services discovery website** Today’s workflow comes from reader **Michael King:** “I built GlowNextDoor, a map-based website for discovering nearby hair salons, barbers, nail studios, lash specialists, and other beauty services. I used ChatGPT/Codex and Claude to develop the idea, compare designs, and refine the experience. I then built and published the website with Base44. I connected Google Maps for live business listings and added location detection, distance and rating filters, reviews, directions, and links to salons' existing booking systems. Through repeated testing on desktop and mobile, I improved the layout, added favorites without requiring a login, created realistic animated category icons, and included an option to add the website to a phone's home screen. Finally, I configured Google Maps usage limits to control costs. My workflow was to describe each feature, review the AI-generated result, test it in the browser, and iterate before publishing.” *See Michael’s workflow here. How do you use AI?
