Notable: frontier-lab developer (OpenAI). Launch facts from help.openai.com release notes via search snippets (openai.com/help.openai.com return 403 to direct fetch). The launch post is now marked outdated; no 2026 page names the model behind agent mode, so underlyingModels empty. Overlaps with the newer dots product; Atlas (browser with agent mode) is being retired with browser-agent capabilities moving into ChatGPT and Codex.
