OpenAI previews Dots for Europe at DevDay Exchange 2026 in Berlin
Why it matters for readers: If you follow AI, this explains why OpenAI is prioritizing coding and agent features over complex video-sequence models right now.
- OpenAI said its AI assistant Dots should become more widely available in Europe "in a few weeks" after talks with regulators.1
- Personal Pro accounts in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK remain locked out of Dots, though some business accounts already have access.1
- OpenAI reported a twentyfold increase in weekly active Codex users in Germany since January 2026, without sharing absolute numbers.1
- The company said customers have mostly asked for coding models and agents, not multi-frame video understanding, which is why it hasn’t prioritized video-sequence models.1
- OpenAI blamed extreme resource demands for shutting down the Sora video generator in March and did not rule out bringing it back later.1
