OpenAI Agents Framework Announced
Narrative
Production-ready agent framework. Built on GPT-5 and o1. Orchestration, memory, tool use. Monitoring and observability. Safety controls. Enterprise SLA.
Reality
Framework launched with comprehensive documentation. Early adopters report 70-80% success rates on defined tasks. Memory persistence working well. Cost per agent-hour $1.50-5 depending on complexity.
Implication
Productized agentic AI for enterprise. But reliability ceiling at 80% limited autonomous deployment. Human-in-loop workflows dominated. Agent monitoring became critical capability.
