OpenAI’s secret AI agent revealed! - Martin Crowley, AI Tool Report

OpenAI reportedly told staff that they will release an AI agent—codenamed Operator—which can take over a computer and perform tasks, autonomously, to developers via the developer API, as early as January. This comes after OpenAI denied reports that it would be launching its newest AI model, Orion, in December, suggesting they’re pivoting away from chatbots that just process text and images, towards agents that can engage with computers autonomously. Something which CEO, Sam Altman, appeared to confirm during a recent AMA on Reddit, where he said “I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.” This also comes after Chief Product Officer, Kevin Weil confirmed, at OpenAI’s dev day last month, that “2025 is going to be the year that agentic systems finally hit the mainstream.”
