OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight yet powerful framework designed for building multi-agent workflows. It is provider-agnostic, supporting the OpenAI Responses and Chat Completions APIs, along with over 100 other Large Language Models (LLMs).
Key features:
- Agents - LLMs configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, and handoffs.
- Sandbox Agents - Preconfigured agents that work within a controlled environment for long-term tasks.
- Tools - Various tools that enable agents to perform actions.
- Guardrails - Configurable safety checks for input and output validation.
- Human in the loop - Mechanisms for human involvement during agent operations.
- Sessions - Automatic management of conversation history.
- Tracing - Built-in tracking for debugging and optimizing workflows.
- Realtime Agents - Support for building powerful voice agents.
This SDK is particularly useful for developers looking to implement complex workflows involving multiple agents and requires Python 3.10 or newer for setup.
