OpenAI unveils new development tool.

OpenAI launched a new tool for developers yesterday (March 11) to help build advanced AI agents using an application programming interface (API), amid increasing competition from Chinese AI startups.

AI agents are designed to automatically perform complex real -world tasks without direct human intervention, while APIs are strings of code that enable standardized communication, data exchange, and functionality between software components.

OpenAI launched a new tool for developers on March 11th.

The new tool, called the Responses API, is now available to all developers at no extra cost. It replaces OpenAI's Assistants API, which is expected to be phased out in the second half of 2026.

This development comes shortly after Chinese startups launched their latest AI models, claiming to match or outperform leading US models at a fraction of the cost.

Chinese startup Monica has garnered attention in recent days after launching its automated AI agent Manus, just weeks after DeepSeek received praise from Silicon Valley executives and engineers at American tech companies.

Monica, the company that claims its Manus AI is superior to OpenAI's DeepResearch agent, said on Tuesday that it is collaborating with the team behind Alibaba's Qwen AI models.

Yesterday (March 11), Manus AI announced a strategic partnership with the team behind Alibaba's Qwen AI models, a move that could accelerate the deployment of what the AI ​​startup calls the world's first generalized AI agent.

Unlike chatbots, AI agents can function like a digital employee, performing tasks independently and with very few prompts. Manus AI launched last week, claiming that its performance surpasses OpenAI's AI agent, DeepResearch.

The partnership with Qwen could further shake up an industry already reeling from the emergence of DeepSeek.
