OpenAI runs their agents on temporal

Super interesting! Citation?

The comment was a bit misleading. We have no info OpenAI does it. However we do have info that they have a pretty neat integration: https://temporal.io/blog/announcing-openai-agents-sdk-integr...

Thanks! This looks nice... looking at their SDKs, it doesn't feel on same level of quality. Also, not fully open-source: https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-py/issues/488

Interesting. The usual feedback is the opposite. For example, DBOS Python works both sync and async, Temporal only async.

> Also, not fully open-source:

This is not correct, everything you need for durable execution with DBOS is open source (and MIT licensed, unlike Temporal). It's open source the same way Spark is -- everything you need is open source, but you can buy services to make it easier to run and buy support.
