OpenAI announces Responses API enhancements with a computer environment and shell tool, enabling AI agents to execute real-world tasks like running services, accessing APIs, and generating artifacts in an isolated, secure container workspace.
Consensus, a research assistant with 8 million users, has launched Scholar Agent—a multi-agent system built on GPT-5 and OpenAI's Responses API—that can synthesize peer-reviewed literature across 220 million papers in minutes. The system uses coordinated Planning, Search, Reading, and Analysis agents to mirror how human researchers work, reducing hallucinations and improving reliability over previous approaches.
OpenAI announced new tools and features for the Responses API, including support for remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, image generation, Code Interpreter, and improved file search capabilities. The update also enables o3 and o4-mini models to call tools directly within their chain-of-thought, with new enterprise features like background mode and encrypted reasoning items.
