OpenAI released the Agents API in public beta, packaging the managed Codex harness so developers can create long-running agents via a single API surface. The API is live for all developers in public beta and keeps data US-only, with Zero Data Retention unsupported. As a result, agent context compaction, tool-search efficiency, parallel tool calling, and multi-subagent coordination are handled by OpenAI’s harness rather than by developer-built orchestration.
Shopify is dropping its cross-platform React Native approach and rebuilding its mobile apps using full native development with AI agents handling much of the work. Shop said its consumer Shop app moved from proof of concept to a native production release in 12 weeks. Shopify has introduced an internal Helix system that migrates screen-by-screen, adds automated comparisons and pre-merge reviews, and changes testing workflows by using a desktop CLI so agent checks can run in milliseconds.
AI coding agents at frontier labs are producing about three full workdays of research output per workday from human researchers. Token usage per researcher is up 124-fold since December and typical costs now exceed $600 per day to run agents. The shift increases reliance on automated research and heightens safeguards around unreleased models while also fueling broader impacts in medicine, public opinion, and safety incidents involving AI tools.
Certinia launched a new System of Action and expanded its Veda AI suite to support autonomous service operations using AI agents. The rollout added 14 new Veda AI agents, bringing the total to 24. It introduces three-tier agent architecture tied to workflow integrations and expands VIAs from 64 to 135, with a stated roadmap to cover 100% agentic capability by year-end.
