OpenAI Agents SDK: Building Production AI Agents (2026)
The OpenAI Agents SDK (formerly Swarm, released as stable in early 2026) is a Python library for building multi-agent AI systems. Unlike LangChain's abstraction-heavy approach or CrewAI's role-playing model, the Agents SDK exposes five clean primitives and gets out of the way. This guide covers everything from setup to production deployment, including handoffs, guardrails, sessions, and tracing. Installing and Configuring pip install openai-agents Python 3.10+ required. Set your API key: export OPENAI_API_KEY = sk-... The SDK also works with non-OpenAI models via LiteLLM — more on that later. The Five Core Primitives Agent → LLM + system instructions + tools + handoffs Runner → executes the agent loop (sync or async) Tools → Python functions the agent can call Handoffs → transfer control to another agent Guardrails → validate input/output before processing Sessions → persistent conversation state Your First Agent from agents import Agent , Runner agent = Agent ( name = " Code Reviewer " , instructions = """ You are a senior Python developer reviewing code for correctness, security issues, and adherence to PEP 8. Be specific and actionable. """ ) result = Runner . run_sync ( agent , " Review this function: def add(a,b): return a+b " ) print ( result . final_output ) Runner.run_sync() is the blocking version. Use await Runner.run() in async contexts. Tools: Extending What Agents Can Do The @function_tool decorator converts any Python function into a tool the agent can call. The docstring becomes the tool's description — write it clearly: from agents import Agent , Runner , function_tool import subprocess import os @function_tool def run_tests ( test_path : str ) -> str : """ Run pytest on the specified test file or directory. Args: test_path: Relative path to test file or directory (must be within ./tests/) """ # Security: restrict to tests/ directory only safe_path = os . path . join ( " ./tests " , os . path . basename ( test_path )) if not os . path . exists ( safe

Your Codex model shuts off July 23 — a 7-day migration map
I pin model IDs on purpose. Floating aliases have burned me before — a silent swap under a -latest tag once changed a tool-calling detail in production and cost me a Saturday with git bisect and a coffee I didn't enjoy. So everything I run points at a dated snapshot. gpt-5-codex was one of them. Last week I finally read OpenAI's deprecations page top to bottom instead of skimming it, and there it was: gpt-5-codex , retiring 2026-07-23 , sitting quietly next to ten of its neighbors. As I write this it's July 16. That's seven days . If you pinned any of the snapshots below, consider this your heads-up. Here's the full retirement list, how to find out in about ten minutes whether you're exposed, the replacement map with the things I'd actually regression-test, and the one structural change that turned my last forced migration from scary into boring. The shutdown list (retiring 2026-07-23) Straight from OpenAI's API deprecations page . I checked each row against the source while writing this — do the same before you act on it, because dates and replacements do get revised. Retiring model OpenAI's suggested replacement gpt-5-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex-max gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-codex-mini gpt-5.4-mini gpt-5.2-codex gpt-5.5 gpt-5-chat-latest gpt-5.5 gpt-5.1-chat-latest gpt-5.5 gpt-4o-search-preview-2025-03-11 gpt-5.4-mini gpt-4o-mini-search-preview-2025-03-11 gpt-5.4-mini gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-03-20 gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-12-15 computer-use-preview-2025-03-11 computer-use-preview (or gpt-5.4-mini ) Note the shape of it: the *-codex line collapses into gpt-5.5 — except gpt-5.1-codex-mini , which drops to gpt-5.4-mini — the chat-latest aliases fold into gpt-5.5 too, the two *-search-preview snapshots move to gpt-5.4-mini , and the two preview families ( tts , computer-use ) just roll to a newer dated snapshot / the undated alias. Once you see the buckets, the migration is less intimidating than the eleven-row table looks. Find out if you're exposed (about ten m
