OpenAI Launches Agents API: Splitting Codex into Cloud Service, Making Agent Creation as Simple as an API Call
OpenAI announced four updates, covering agents, voice, data, and finance. Among them, the Agents API has attracted the most attention, splitting the Codex capabilities into cloud services, lowering the entry barrier for agent development with the concept of 'capabilities as a service'. This marks OpenAI's shift from selling a single model to building a developer ecosystem, representing a key implementation of the Codex strategy.
