This was sorely needed.
Hopefully this kills the need to use the CLI and we can just use the API instead.

Re: OpenAI Agents API
#22What I want (which I don’t think exists?) is a way to trigger turns that the user can monitor in the codex application. I.e., when event X happens, my application triggers Codex to take a turn with input Y, which the user can monitor through codex. Right now the only way to get close to this is with polling or essentially rewriting a codex-like frontend.
do you mean like a cloud agent provider? What we're working on at noriagentic.com may be relevant -- you can fire events from slack/web/cli to kick off an agent in a box and talk to it as if it was running local

#23It's actually a really great idea, but it doesn't have to go beyound existing Responses or Chat Completions APIs.
We built that in my current company and it works wonders to just script entire persistent workflows with a simple SDK.

#24Since a week or so everything I ask codex to do, no matter how small, uses at least 1% of my weekly limits and like 5% of my 5h limit. It's getting so bad I'm thinking of just canceling my OpenAI subscription, because this has no use anymore.
Check which model you're using, Astra is the new default, but also the most expensive
That's the thing. I did notice that, and switched back to my favorite (5.6 sol, medium). No difference.
Looks to me like they really took down the quotas, especially anything in codex. Either that or it's something else, perhaps in codex?

#25The pricing on this is a bit confusing. Does each execution of an agent session create a new environment? And is that environment then billed for at least a full hour (despite prices being quoted per 20 minutes), after which it naturally expires? Is there a way to deliberately shut down an environment so you don't have to keep paying for it?

I get the same. It sits there and spins for a bit then as soon as it spits out something, my 5h is 5-10% lower, whether it's asking it to do code review over a significant code base or just asking it to change a config value.

Re: OpenAI Agents API
#29I jumped straight to the section on configuring your sandbox's network access: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents-api/env... It offers three settings: enabled: Allow outbound access. This is the default unless you inherit a template policy. disabled: Block outbound access. restricted: Allow only the hosts listed in allowed_domains. Given what happened with the wiki thing the other week, where the ag…
since people will be using agents to set these up themselves i could see an agent trapped in a container getting a message to an agent outside the container to please update the container for full network access. Maybe the msg could come in the form an api response header or something.
Re: OpenAI Agents API
#30This is pretty interesting in a lot of non-surface-level ways. I can see OpenAI pushing for this as a sort of more durable moat compared to the now huge number of agentic harnesses that run on your own machine. This might be getting the foot into some sort of bundling as well. Like unrestricted models or custom fine tuned agents inside this and not providing direct APIs to those endpoints. That being said I don't see…
>GPT Work runs on your own machines...is sort of the whole point.
Which is also why they want to remove it from your machine. Call it conspiratorial, but I keep thinking about "You'll own nothing and be happy." It seems like the industry is quickly moving in a direction where devices are turning into gateway into the cloud, and personal computing will turn into a hobby that prices out the average individual.
