OpenAI updates the Agents SDK with native sandbox execution and a model-native harness, helping developers build secure, long-running agents across files and tools.
How OpenAI built an agent runtime using the Responses API, shell tool, and hosted containers to run secure, scalable agents with files, tools, and state.
Stateful Runtime for Agents in Amazon Bedrock brings persistent orchestration, memory, and secure execution to multi-step AI workflows powered by OpenAI.
Cloudflare brings OpenAI’s GPT-5. 4 and Codex to Agent Cloud, enabling enterprises to build, deploy, and scale AI agents for real-world tasks with speed and security.
arXiv:2605. 27575v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As organizations move toward production deployments of AI agents, which execute non-deterministic workflows, maintain stateful sessions, and often operate with privileged access to internal services, the engineering challenge shifts from building individual agents to operating them at scale with proper isolation, governance, and security.
arXiv:2505. 21550v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Collaborative agentic AI is projected to transform entire industries by enabling AI-powered agents to autonomously perceive, plan, and act within digital environments.
arXiv:2607. 25076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every major wave of platform software follows the same arc: an initial period of experimentation with competing frameworks and ad-hoc implementations, followed by the articulation of a small set of stable abstractions with well-defined semantics, and finally consolidation around those abstractions into a platform that applications can portably target.
Workspace agents in ChatGPT are Codex-powered agents that automate complex workflows, run in the cloud, and help teams scale work across tools securely.
