OpenAI Agents API

Why on earth would we want such a lock-in at this stage when there is no clear winner. This is an area in which I would encourage everyone to build their own (using OSS) on top of existing cloud infrastructure.

I tried and it's difficult to create a good agent harness.

There are no shortage of good harnesses out there, and you can re-use coding ones like pi, opencode, dsh even claude and codex. For most use-cases that is already the loop you need. If you're looking for something less like a coding agent then Vercel's Eve is okay too.

But you can't just plug those into your already existing stack easily, unlike a purely API-based solution no?

To have a really good harness, it seems that you need a separate one for every different project you are working with.
