Replaces the need to stitch together multiple APIs manually. Supports multi-turn interactions and multiple tool calls in one request. Includes built-in tools: Web Search, File Search, and Computer Use.
Helps orchestrate multiple agents with handoffs. Auto-generates JSON schemas for function calling from Python functions. Built-in tracing and monitoring tools for debugging. Open-source and soon available for JavaScript.
3. Assistance API sunset in 2026:
Developers will have time to migrate to Responses API. Responses API is a superset of chat completions and assistants.

@chrismessina I think "function calling" is no longer the right term. It seems they updated it to "tool calling", which makes more sense in my opinion.

A very crucial update, will be integrated with the latest API and SDK as soon as possible.
New tools for developers!
That's wonderful! I can't wait to try developing my own agent with this.
This is amazing news!! Definitely going to try this out. I especially love the tracing feature.
excellent services
Lovely update... I am building a simple product with it as we speak, should be ready within the next few days.
