OpenAI announces Agents API public beta for managed cloud agents
A user describes an E2B workbench where each chat runs on its own isolated machine, with automatic pauses between turns and branching to try another approach.
TLDR
OpenAI announced the Agents API public beta on September 10, saying developers can build and run cloud agents using the Codex harness while OpenAI handles orchestration, long-running sessions and context management.
A user describes a workbench that connects the API to E2B sandboxes—isolated machines with their own filesystems and preinstalled tools. They say each chat runs on its own machine, starts from a custom template and automatically pauses between turns. The workbench can also branch from the same starting point to try another approach and act on videos inside the sandbox, according to the user.
