OpenAI launches Agents API in public beta
Editorial Analysis
OpenAI released the Agents API in public beta, exposing the managed Codex harness for orchestration, long-running sessions, context management, and tool use. Developers can run agents in OpenAI-hosted or external sandboxes with no additional API fees beyond tokens and tools. The release lowers barriers to production-grade agent deployment using the same infrastructure powering Codex.
