OpenAI Unveils New Development Tools

OpenAI launched new tools for developers on Tuesday to help build advanced AI agents using application programming interfaces (APIs), amid growing 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 communication, data exchange, and standardized functionality between software components.

OpenAI launched a new tool for developers on March 11.

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

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

Chinese startup Monica has been making headlines in recent days after launching its autonomous AI agent Manus, just weeks after DeepSeek garnered praise from Silicon Valley executives and engineers at US tech companies.

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

Manus AI announced a strategic partnership with the team behind tech giant Alibaba's Qwen AI models yesterday (March 11), a move that could accelerate the rollout of what the artificial intelligence startup calls the world's first general AI agent.

Unlike chatbots, AI agents can act as digital agents, performing tasks independently and with little prompting. Manus AI launched last week, claiming that its performance outperformed OpenAI’s AI agent, DeepResearch.

The partnership with Qwen could further shake up an industry that is still reeling from DeepSeek's emergence.
