ChatGPT Work

8.5

**An Enterprise token rate card (help center, updated 2026-10-04) now prices every Work and Codex model per 1M tokens for eligible Enterprise agreements -- GPT-6 Astra $10/$50, GPT-6.1 Sol $2/$10, Daybreak Red $12.50/$75, Astra for Law $12.50/$62.50, Astra Ultrafast at 6x -- and per-token rates replace per-message billing in Chat.** EU Work output will also carry OpenAI's invisible textGrain watermark within weeks (10/05). OpenAI's long-running work agent (launched 2026-07-09) -- gathers context across your apps via plugins, stays on a project for hours, and returns finished docs/sheets/slides/web apps. **DevDay 2026 (2026-09-29) rebuilt the surface around it: dots (always-on GPT-6 Astra agents with their own cloud computer) for Pro and Business Premium with an off-by-default Enterprise beta, ChatGPT Space (which replaces Library) and Pages for Pro, Business and Enterprise, a Meetings plugin, teams with shared tasks and @ChatGPT in Slack and Microsoft Teams for Business and Enterprise, GPT-6.1 Sol in Work at near-Astra quality, and Astra Ultrafast in Work for the new $500 Pro 500 plan and Enterprise.** Earlier: GPT-6 Astra (9/03; enterprise access off by default), GPT-6 Sol and Luna (9/22), Voice inside Work (9/23). Vertical editions so far: Financial Services (9/10) and Astra for Law with 26 legal plugins (9/17).

Perplexity Computer

8.4

**On 2026-10-15 Perplexity open-sourced SPACE, the in-house VM sandbox that has run every Computer session since July (millions of sandbox creations a day), with Akamai, Crusoe and CoreWeave offering it to their customers.** Perplexity's general-purpose digital worker -- operates real software like you do, runs for hours or months, **and since 2026-09-29 runs on its own: Automations replace Scheduled Tasks with schedule- or event-triggered agents (Slack, Gmail, Outlook, Linear, GitHub) that remember prior runs and can flag missed deadlines, with per-action review gates and admin-scoped connector permissions.** and since 2026-09-21 is documented as served by GLM 5.2 rather than a frontier council: Perplexity disclosed that Computer sessions run on Z.ai's open-weight GLM 5.2, post-trained on real user sessions, with the trained checkpoint offered as a model option (21.2% fewer live tool-call failures). **Portable Computer** runs the whole thing on your own hardware -- NVIDIA RTX since 8/25, Windows since 9/14, AMD Ryzen AI Max since 9/24 -- on PPLX 27B or Qwen 3.8 27B with 24 GB of GPU memory, and local inference does not consume Computer credits. Included on Pro ($20) since 5/07, not only Max ($200).
