OpenAI released the Agents API as a public beta, providing developers infrastructure to build cloud agents that run autonomously for hours, execute code, and delegate tasks to sub-agents (The Decoder). The API charges only for token usage with no additional fees; Cloudflare, Vercel, and Oracle provide complementary sandbox environments for secure execution.
Separately, OpenAI released GPT-Live-1, a full-duplex speech model API priced at $0.05 per minute, scoring 80.1 percent in interactivity tests compared to 45.4 percent for its predecessor (The Decoder). In other developer-facing news, OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra topped the ErdosBench for open mathematics problems; the company stated math was not a development priority and resources focused instead on recursive self-improvement and alignment research (The Decoder).
