This is OpenAI's first real entry into the agent tool flow workspace, and like the other tools in this space, this SDK is model agnostic, meaning you can use this SDK to build agentic workflows using models from other vendors. Although, if you're going to build with other vendors, it might make more sense to use other tools because this SDK is specialized for OpenAI's API, and it works really well with the OpenAI API. On that note, this SDK lives separately and depends on the OpenAI API. It's sort of a hat, an abstraction layer on top of it, meaning you can work with the OpenAI API the way you've always done, but if you want to build agents, you can work with this SDK instead and it handles all the interactions with the API for you. So you're just specifying how the agents work. And the API is working under the hood. The entire SDK, including documentation and examples, is contained…
