Why it matters

OpenAI is expanding the Responses API with production-ready agent capabilities (Remote MCP, image generation, Code Interpreter). This lowers the barrier for developers to build and deploy multi-tool agents at scale, directly competing with agent frameworks and pushing the shift from chatbots to autonomous workflows.
