Introducing the OpenAI Agents API
TLDR Dev ● Covered by 3 sources
OpenAI introduced an Agents API that packages Codex’s long-running harness into a public-beta interface for managing context, tools, files, recovery, and subagent orchestration. It supports asynchronous sessions that can run for hours or days. As a result, teams can deploy these agent sessions in an OpenAI-hosted sandbox, on their own infrastructure, or through partner environments.
