OpenAI has introduced the Agents API as a public beta, enabling developers to create autonomous cloud agents that can operate independently for extended periods. According to The Decoder, these agents are capable of executing code and delegating tasks to sub-agents without incurring additional fees beyond token usage.

The new API builds on OpenAI's existing technologies such as Codex and ChatGPT, offering enhanced automation capabilities for cloud environments. Companies like Cloudflare, Vercel, and Oracle are expected to benefit from integrating these autonomous agents into their workflows.

For Japanese markets, this release could accelerate the adoption of AI-driven automation in cloud services, potentially impacting sectors ranging from FX trading platforms to crypto infrastructure and equity data analysis.
